The neighborhood of North Hills is highly coveted because of its views and proximity to downtown. Santa Fe is a majestic and lively city known for its rugged desert landscapes, eclectic art scene, and its distinctive Southwestern-style food. Enjoy the many attractions from art galleries to restaurants to skiing, hiking, mountain biking trails and parks and playgrounds. No matter what your interests are, there’s something for everyone.

Santa Fe has been rated one of America’s top mountain bike towns by USA Today and for good reason. There are miles of incredible trails that cater to all skill levels all around the city. The Dale Ball Trail System is comprised of 22 miles of biking and hiking trails that connect to other systems and start within 2 miles of Santa Fe Plaza. If you prefer some powder on your trails, Ski Santa Fe has one of the highest ski areas in the country. Enjoy amazing vistas, steep bumps, and powder-filled chutes and a summit elevation of 12,075 feet.

History comes alive in Santa Fe with an abundance of museums and historic sites that preserve the city’s rich past. Bandelier National Monument is worth a trip and is best known for mesas, sheer-walled canyons, and the ancestral Pueblo dwellings found among them. Immerse yourself in history at El Ranchos de las Golondrinas, a 200-acre living history museum that showcases Spanish Colonial, Mexican-American, and Native American heritage and culture from New Mexico in the 18th and 19th century.

Santa Fe’s vibrant music scene is as diverse as the city’s cultural heritage. No matter what your musical taste, you can find a venue to suit. Most music spots downtown are small, allowing for an intimate music-listening experience. Head to Second Street Brewery at the Railyard for local and regional acts, or the historic El Farol for tapas and Flamenco dancing. The upscale Vanessie delivers award winning cuisine along with a piano bar and live music. In the summer, the music spills onto the streets with the Santa Fe Bandstand series that turns the city’s historic plaza into a giant dance floor.
When it’s time for eating, Santa Fe offers something for every palate.

Experience out-of-this-world farm-inspired cuisine at Radish and Rye, where the produce is sourced locally whenever possible. Take a quick road trip to the San Marcos Café that serves up down-home Santa Fe-style food that locals and tourists go crazy for. Make sure to grab some of the homemade cinnamon rolls that they’re famous for.

A shopping trip in Santa Fe is an adventure in itself and can lead to some amazing finds. Visit the Native Arts of the Rio Grande Gallery & Cooperative where you can see and buy works from local Pueblo artists. The famous Santa Fe Artists Market runs from March through December at the Railyard north of the Water Tower. Enjoy fine arts and crafts from local juried artists and discover pottery, jewelry, paintings, photography, textiles, and more.

Most guests arrive by car, however, rideshare (Uber, Lyft) is available in this area. Albuquerque International Sunport (ABQ) is the closest major airport serving this region and is about an hour’s drive, although some flights use the Santa Fe Regional Airport (SAF,) a short 20-minute drive from the area.
