Santa Fe is a World of Fun Under the Sun—All Year Long!

Averaging over 300 days of sunshine a year, Santa Fe is an excellent destination for travel during the winter, spring, summer or fall. At 7,000 feet above sea level the city offers the best of many worlds…snow-covered peaks, autumn leaves, mountain streams, desert trails and the bluest of blue skies. (Because of the high altitude, it’s important to drink large quantities of water for maintaining hydration, all year ‘round.)

In the spring and summer, Santa Fe is ideal for hiking, mountain biking, fly fishing, kayaking and rafting. Wintertime draws downhill and cross-country skiers and snowboarders from around the world. And in autumn, when the aspens change, the scenery is breathtaking as the Sangre de Cristo Mountains turn from green to yellow in a matter of weeks.
