Paseo de Peralta at Washington

The Scottish Rite Temple as seen from near the corner of Paseo de Peralta and Washington Avenue.

Washington Avenue ends at this intersection. Bishops Lodge Road picks up where Washington leaves off, and takes you all the way to Tesuque Village.

There is only one block between here and the Plaza. You can tell you're near the center of town since this set of panoramas are tagged with so many things visible or near by.

Palace of Governors

The Palace of Governors is across the street from the Santa Fe Plaza.

No music today, but lots of street vendors and artisans selling their wares.

Old Santa Fe Trail at Water Street

One block from the Plaza, where the Old Santa Fe Trail ends, it takes a few turns.

One of the many narrow streets that seem almost like back alleys, there are interesting things to explore in nearly every direction.

Old Santa Fe Trail at Alameda

The corner of Old Santa Fe Trail and Alameda Street. On the other side of the street is the Santa Fe River.

Keep on walking across the street and the next major intersection is with Paseo de Peralta; up there you'll find the Visitor's Center.

The view in this panorama are man-made. The parapets of the roof line create a distant, mountainous look. That feeling is increased via the sculpture of the deer jumping down.

Museum of Fine Arts

The Museum of Fine Arts is located at the corner of Palace Avenue and Lincoln Avenue, diagonally across the street from the Plaza.

Lincoln Ave. at Marcy Street

Another place to sit and warm yourself in the Spring or Fall. Lots of reading material near by as well.

You can keep heading down Lincoln Ave. to the Plaza or walk down Marcy street to Washington Avenue.

You may notice a variety of trees. Over the shoulders of the sculpture is, I think, a Siberian/Chinese Elm (I've heard it called a few things). To the left of that is a honey locust near the magazines and newspapers boxes. Turning all the way around, an ash tree is right by City Hall...needs some dead wood pruned off.

Alameda at Don Gaspar

More galleries and restaurants within walking distance.

Alameda at Galisteo

If you come to Santa Fe via Interstate 25, take the Cerrillos exit and drive north, before too long you end up here at the corner of Galisteo and Alameda. Where do you go next?

Old Santa Fe Trail at Paseo de Peralta

Look around and you can see the blue sign for the Visitor Information Center.

Ok, so not the most exciting views, but I hope it helps you get your bearings. There are some Sangre de Christo foothill views, however.

Shady Courtyard on Galisteo

A nice shady courtyard on Galisteo Street.
