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.

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.

Lincoln Ave. at Federal Place

Right in front of us is the US Court House.

During warmer months you often find picnic benches on the well-maintained grass around the corner, or at the other end of Federal Place by the Post Office.

Santa Fe Plaza

The Plaza has long been a central gathering place in Santa Fe.

It's pretty rare when there aren't people hanging out in or around the Plaza. But I did manage to catch that once.
