Travel Tips for Santa Fe
The Pinyon Tree
This pinyon tree was pointed out to me as we walked along the streets of Santa Fe. We had noticed the wonderfully aromatic fragrance of the pinyon wood when the fireplace in our room was lit.
After searching the internet for information on this tree, I found out some interesting facts. New Mexican Pinyon trees are widespread, usually growing below the elevation of 7500 feet. They do not often grow beyond 20-30 feet and can be wider than they are tall. These trees commonly live 350-450 years, not producing cones until after 100 years old.
The pinyon tree which grows in New Mexico, provides edible pine nuts to much of the American Southwest. It was a major food source of the Native American indians who lived in this area. Since this nut nourished animals, too, numbers of nuts buried for later use often germinate. In this way, the pinyon pine relies on these creatures to help the species spread.
Early Europeans credit the pinyon nut for preventing their starvation. The Pinyon Jay and the tree seem to benefit each other--one provides the nuts and the other's beak has evolved to expertly pluck the nuts from the cone. However, some seeds fall to the ground and eventually are covered over, enabling them to grow.
This bit of info. came from an article by Stuart K. Wier on earthlink.net
Bandelier National Monument
Bandelier National Monument is the location of the old cliff dwellings of Ancestral Pueblo people. The Ancestral Pueblo people occupied Bandelier for more than 400 years, from 1150 A.D until the 16th century. When the Spanish occupied and colonized New Mexico, the Pueblo people were scattered, and Bandelier was essentially abandoned. Today, you can easily walk over to the cliff dwellings and climb into a few of them by ladder.
Bandelier National Monument is located 40 minutes to the northwest of Santa Fe.

If you have time, make a reservation for a soak &/or massage at Ten Thousand Waves. You can get a private tub or join others in a public tub. Clothing is optional and rarely seen in the public tubs - you may wear a bathing suit if you are more comfortable. They have all kinds of body treatments and facials. It is a wonderful place, and you wil leave refreshed and calm. Great in the day for sun worship or the night for stargazing. Your tub will be integrated with the outdoors. Call ahead if you prefer a private tub - they can be hard to come by on short notice.
Pueblo pottery
You don't have to go to one of the pricey fine arts dealers to buy beautiful native pottery in Santa Fe. There are numerous shops that sell authentic pueblo pottery and other tribal art at very reasonable prices.
The pottery comes from the local Navajo, Santa Clara, Anasazi, Hopi, Jemez, and Acoma pueblos. Each pueblo has their own distinct style. After a couple of days in Santa Fe, you'll be able to identify the origin of the pottery on your own. We liked the Acoma style, so we picked up some pottery made at the Acoma Pueblo. Like the hilltowns of Italy, the Acoma Pueblo is situated at the top of a mesa, originally built there as a defense against marauding enemies. Today, the intricately decorated and often symmetrical pottery is highly prized and displayed in many museums.
Wind River Trading Company sells more than pottery. You'll also find jewelry, clothing, belt buckles, blankets, moccasins and more at this store. When my son was 9 months old, we bought one of his first pair of shoes here - a pair of moccasins. Fond memories!
