When you’re looking for a unique vacation destination, consider a trip to Santa Fe New Mexico. Whether you’re an art lover or a history buff, this charming city has much to offer. Take a look at some of its most famous buildings, which make for a perfect getaway. Visit the State Capitol, also known as the “Roundhouse,” and see the mix of traditional and modern architectural styles. The Rotunda displays stained glass and works of art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re into hiking, the city offers many trails. One of the most popular is the Baldy via Windsor Trail, a 13.5-mile hike. Although moderately trafficked, this trail is grueling in the final mile. Once you’re finished, you can camp in a nearby lake. You can even bring your dog along! While hiking, be sure to bring plenty of water and snacks. Camping is allowed on the trail, which is great if you’re worried about your aging body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hiking is another popular way to get outdoors in Santa Fe. The city’s backcountry is teeming with wildflowers and a variety of bird species. If you’re looking for a shorter hike in Santa Fe, try the La Tierra Trail, which connects several paths in the region. This 10.5-mile loop is one of the easiest Santa Fe hiking trails, and the trails are well-marked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The state capital of New Mexico is located in Santa Fe, which is the oldest city in the U.S. It is home to a fascinating mix of cultures. The city’s historic streets are a treat to wander through, with beautiful Native American adobe buildings and Spanish colonial churches, as well as magnificent Mexican missions. There’s always something to see, and the city offers a wide range of options for any visitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re looking for some great places to eat, Santa Fe has a lot to offer. Local food trucks are located in the plaza and serve rich posole, a traditional New Mexican stew. The area is full of shops and cafes where you can grab a bite. The obelisk monument at the center of the plaza is a remembrance of the Mexican-American War. The inscriptions on the monument hope that one day all prejudices will be erased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city grew to become a unique Hispanic frontier town. Although it was not walled, Santa Fe did not follow the strict grid-like pattern of most other Hispanic cities. In 1790, Santa Fe was a small farming community of 2,542 people. During the Mexican War, the city was occupied by U.S. forces and led by General Stephen Watts Kearny. After the Mexican War, Santa Fe became the capital of New Mexico, and the city was named as the state’s capital in 1851. It remained the state capital until 1912.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
