Our trip to Santa Fe consisted of two main aspects: Old Town Santa Fe and Bonanza Creek Ranch. Each place was very unique and offered an experience unlike anything I had ever seen before.

We took the Turquoise Trail route from Albuquerque to Old Town Santa Fe. The view was very pretty, and we were even able to see a few jackrabbits.

Old Town Santa Fe was absolutely beautiful, and the architecture made us feel as though we were in another country.

I recommend arriving as early as possible due to the heat and the traffic. Be aware – bathrooms are scarce and the shops are very expensive. For more for affordable places near by, check out my review of Albuquerque.

I recommend allowing 2 hours to tour the area and take pictures. You can even enter the pretty church!

After exploring the downtown area, the next stop was a film set location also know as Bonanza Creek Ranch.
