Canyon Road

Entrance to Canyon Road

This intersection is a popular entrance to Canyon Road. Already you can see the art work visible.

Just a short walk away are many galleries, jewelry shops, places to eat and more.

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.

Paseo de Peralta at East Alameda

If you are a visitor to Santa Fe, chances are you'll walk or drive through this intersection many times. Paseo de Peralta forms a small-time beltway around the inner-most part of the city. Alameda runs along the Santa Fe River.

Look left, down East Alameda to the east and the Santa Fe River is on your right. Along it is an informal trail, some picnic benches, and a park near a big curve at the end. Continuing to look left, on the opposite corner one can see the St. Francis Cathedral Elementary School.

Driving Down East Alameda

Over the bridge is the last part of East Palace Avenue, which dead-ends at Canyon Road.

Facing the intersection, heading east (to the right) on Alameda, takes you along the river. If you walk across the street and go down Palace Avenue, you will end up at the Plaza. If you take a right, there is a shady park (Monsignor Patrick Smith Park) with playground equipment and picnic benches.

Canyon Road at Palace Avenue

The last intersection where there is a high concentration of galleries, shops, and places to eat is at Canyon Road and Palace Avenue. You could take a left here and walk straight back to the plaza, or if you walk Palace Avenue from the plaza you will end here and this point becomes the beginning of the tour of Canyon Road.

Canyon Road at Camino del Monte Sol

This intersection has a nice collection of places nearby. A few places you can eat outside, and more galleries of course.

On the other side of the white van is the public parking lot.

And another "Where's Waldo?"-type peek-a-boo mountain view.

Apple Art on Canyon Road at Delgado

How's about them apples? Not really sure about what that saying means, but...

If you stayed on East Alameda you can turn on Delgado and access Canyon Road from here. As you can see there's public parking down the street. I will point it out when we get there.
