Walk

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.

Edgar Lee Hewett House

Next to the Museum of Fine Arts is the Museum of New Mexico Foundation headquarters. Known as the Edgar Lee Hewett House, formerly the Fort Marcy Officers' Residence.

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.

Glimpse up Gypsy Alley

We're past the half-way point as we go up Lower Canyon Road.

This angle gives you a nice glance up Gypsy Alley to places nestled back up in there.

You can even see a bench inspection taking place; Santa Fe cares about your safety.

Canyon Road at Camino Escondido

Send a post card to your friends and family letting them know what a great time you're having. Look around in the panorama and you'll see what I mean.

Looking up Canyon Road you can see one of the Sangre de Christo foothills.

Canyon Road at Garcia Street

Up Canyon Road a little farther from Paseo de Peralta you'll find Garcia Street. Again, you can see art work nearly every where you turn.

At the other end of Garcia you'll find a few small shop and outdoor seating.
