 Just before sunset, Santa Fe,
New Mexico by karenincalifornia
If hiking, just make sure you have some kind of exit strategy, and if not that, hunker down so that something else is taller than you are.
A byproduct of an afternoon thunderstorm is the most gorgeous sunset. Leave a Comment

Albuquerque is 5300 feet (1600m) above sea level and Santa Fe is at 6500 ft (1980m).The surrounding mountains can reach 12,000 feet (3660m).
There are a lot of beautiful hikes in New Mexico.
But, if you are used to lower altitudes, you need to be aware that hiking in the mountains may give you a headache or make you slightly dizzy. If this happens do not climb any higher, as the symptoms could get worse and could become serious. Leave a Comment

The burglary capital of New Mexico. Lock your car, store your valuables (camera, CD case, luggage) in the trunk, and double-check the lock on your hotel room. However, muggings are rare, and purse-snatchings aren't all that common, although they do happen. (A little common sense about walking alone after dark is called for.)
Recently there's been a rash of burglaries and pocket-pickings in the Canyon Road area, so keep track of your belongings as you stroll the galleries and shops. (Someone actually stole the donation box from Project Tibet, a nonprofit where I volunteer -- talk about bad karma!) Leave a Comment

We've had a drought the past few years, so there have been periodic closures of forest areas, including campgrounds and trails. If you plan to come to NM to camp or hike, it's a VERY good idea to check in advance with the Forest Service or other responsible organization to avoid disappointment. (There's still plenty to do in NM, of course, but it'll be a very different trip.) Leave a Comment

Drink lots of water, go easy on the alcohol. In Santa Fe you are at 7000ft/2133M and there is a lot less oxygen in the air.

In most states, uninsured motorists are not too much of a problem. Not so much for New Mexico. The vehicle "inspection" process is a mere visual check to make sure the car actually exists and the car your registering isnt "to be stolen at a later date". We have by far more uninsured motorists than any other state. And if you get hit by one...guess what, your chance for legal restitution is slim. You can sue them, but chances are if they have no insurance they dont have much you can take from them. So drive defensively in New Mexico, espescially Santa Fe around Cerillos Road. Leave a Comment

Santa Fe is one of the highest towns in america so The air is pretty thin.
You will feel out of breath just walking down the road they say it takes two weeks to adjust . Leave a Comment

when driving, be careful. the roads compared to New York or big city roads are very narrow. Normally both sides of the road drop down so if you swerve off the path. you may get stuck.

Be careful when you walk by this sculpture at the Frank Howell Gallery. It has mystical powers and will make you do strange things. Leave a Comment
