Mountains + Adventure
Resting in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains with a population of 80,000, Santa Fe is the highest-altitude city in America. A prime destination for skiers and boarders, hikers and backpackers, mountain bikers and climbers, the city sits at 7,000 feet—and delivers 5,000 feet of elevation gain between downtown and the Santa Fe ski basin, which towers over Santa Fe at a rarified 12,000 feet. The result? Santa Feans enjoy two worlds in one: the warm, sunny environs of the city itself, and the pine forests with their snow-covered peaks up above. In addition, the Rio Grande brings both river and lake sports to the region’s water enthusiasts.
