CNN Travel’s Top 10 ski deal: ’Ski Santa Fe may be the most blissfully undervalued mountain in the Southwest’
 FeedBack ( 0) | By Pieter van Noordennen: Just 16 miles up the road from New Mexico’s capital, Ski Santa Fe may be the most blissfully undervalued mountain in the Southwest. What sounds like a local hill is actually a 12,075-foot peak in the Sangre de Cristos, making it one of the highest resorts in the nation. The snow is similar to the bone-dry powder in Taos, but lift tickets are 15 percent cheaper, and the runs are just as striking -- the longest is three miles. Read the full article.

The Burning of Will Shuster's Zozobra - Sept 9, 2010
 FeedBack ( 0) | UPDATE: See pictures of the event!
The Zozobra event is staged each year by the Kiwanis Club of Santa Fe as a fiery and exciting kick-off to the annual Fiestas de Santa Fe during the weekend following Labor Day.
Zozobra is a hideous but harmless fifty-foot bogeyman marionette. He is a toothless, empty-headed facade. He has no guts and doesn't have a leg to stand on. He is full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. He never wins. He moans and groans, rolls his eyes and twists his head. His mouth gapes and chomps. His arms flail about in frustration. Every year we do him in. We string him up and burn him down in ablaze of fireworks. At last, he is gone, taking with him all our troubles for another whole year. Santa Fe celebrates another victory. Viva la Fiesta! - A.W. Denninger

Vacation rentals vs. hotels: How you could save big on your next trip
FeedBack ( 0) | By Sarah Pascarella: I've talked up vacation rentals quite a lot in the past. They're an outstanding value, often providing more room and amenities for your travel dollars than a typical hotel. Rentals can be found in all corners of the globe, from ski destinations to world capitals, spring break beaches to secluded shores. They come in all shapes and sizes, from condo rentals to cozy cabins, sprawling chalets to city apartments.
Fully equipped kitchens allow you to cook some or all of your meals, thus saving money over pricey restaurants. Larger spaces enable groups to travel together and split the lodging costs, offering more affordable per-night rates overall than hotels. read more

The Art of Being Santa Fe
FeedBack ( 0) | By HENRY SHUKMAN, NY Times: I CAN'T remember how or why it came to be dawn when I first saw Santa Fe from a bus window. It was my first time in New Mexico, the fulfillment of a long-held dream: to visit the land that had inflamed my imagination when as a teenager I'd read D. H. Lawrence's paeans to the state.
The desert slowly emerged out of a velvet blackness, became a watery blue, almost the blue of a swimming pool. Then just as we got to the top of the long climb of La Bajada Hill and the Sangre de Cristo mountains sprang into view, the wing of darkness over the earth withdrew, and the true daytime colors began to show, rusty-brown as a cougar's hide. Ahead, the gaunt lump of the mountains, receiving the first red blush on their faces. At their feet, the mingling of the lights of town with stars of sunlight winking from distant windows. ...full article

Subscribers to Conde Nast Traveler magazine vote Santa Fe the third most popular travel city in the country
FeedBack ( 0) | For the 18th year in a row, the sophisticated travelers who subscribe to Conde Nast Traveler magazine voted Santa Fe to be one of their favorite travel destinations in the U.S. Santa Fe was selected as the third most popular travel city in the country after San Francisco and Charleston, SC. Santa Fe bumped New York out of the third spot this year and joins a host of desirable travel towns in the magazine's 22nd Annual Readers' Choice Awards. In 2008 Santa Fe was ranked in the fourth spot.
"The big news is that, undaunted by tough times, our readers are still out there, discovering the coolest experiences and reaffirming an enduring passion for travel," said Conde Nast Traveler Editor in Chief Klara Glowczewska. "It's clear that our readers are as devoted to the worldwide diversity of travel as ever."
Santa Fe has been rated as one of the top U.S. travel destinations by the poll since 1992 when Santa Fe was just a write-in candidate but received enough votes from the magazine's readers to be chosen the number one travel destination in the world.
The "Top eight US Cities" as ranked in the 22nd Annual Conde Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Awards: #1. San Francisco; #2. Charleston, SC; #3. Santa Fe; #4. New York; #5 Chicago; #6 Honolulu; #7 Carmel; #8 Savannah.

AARP names Santa Fe the "FOURTH HEALTHIEST HOMETOWN"
FeedBack ( 0) | We all want to live long and be healthy. As it turns out, where you choose to live in the second half of your life can make all the difference. So, exactly what makes a city healthy? In doing our research, combing through the government records of hundreds of cities for more than 20 measures of vitality, we looked not only at the physical aspects of a community (clean air and water, for instance) but also at the health and habits of the people who live there.
Santa Fe's rates of diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol are among the lowest in the country, in part because of a city-funded health campaign aimed at older residents. In addition to offering a 268-bed hospital and easy access to specialists in nearby Albuquerque, Santa Fe is teeming with alternative medicine specialists who graduated from the local University of Natural Medicine or the New Mexico Academy of Healing Arts.
Known for its outdoor lifestyle and emphasis on healthy eating, Santa Fe boasts a network of trails that leads into the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. And Deborah Madison, author of several bestselling cookbooks, is a regular at the local farmers' market, which recently celebrated its 40th anniversary and has a new building in the city's rail yard.
Despite its relatively small size, the city has its own symphony and community orchestra, plus an opera with an international reputation and the annual High Mayhem Emerging Music and Arts Festival.

Read this fascinating historic account of Santa Fe
FeedBack ( 0) | In 1608 the Castillian-born adventurer Juan Martinez de Montoya, a man described as "tall, of good feature, blackbearded," reported that he had "made a settlement at Santa Fe." The place he called Santa Fe was a beautiful little valley with a small river flowing through it, beneath the mountains a few miles east of the river named the Rio Grande. It grew into the capital of the province of New Mexico, and for more than one hundred and sixty years, until Monterey was established in California in the late eighteenth century, Santa Fe was the northernmost capital of a Spanish province in the New World.
