America's oldest capital city is the only one to have fascinated travelers for more than 400 years. Atop a rim of the vast upper Rio Grande basin 7, 000 feet above sea level, it is one of the nation's highest major towns. Nearby, the loftiest peaks of the southernmost Rocky Mountains provide a towering backdrop and a benign sheltered four-season climate. The unique site and relative isolation fostered slow, thoughtful growth. Today, Santa Fe has achieved world-class status as a fascinating getaway destination. Here, it is all about food, art, museums, operas and entertainment, leisure spas, and Rocky Mountain recreation.
