Santa Fe in July!

The 413-year old city of Santa Fe is nestled in the western foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and offers a delightful array of attractions, including museums, the Santa Fe Opera, endless art galleries and shops, historic churches, Indian pueblos, and many superb restaurants. You can golf on the mesas, hike in the Sangre de Cristos, raft on the Rio Grande, or explore abandoned Pueblo ruins. And marvelous side trips abound to Taos, Los Alamos, Chimayo, or Bandelier National Monument.
