special,” said Newman. “Santa Fe has a breadth of diversity for travelers of
all tastes and budgets. I particularly like that you can enjoy art and
architecture downtown and within a short drive be immersed in nature. Many of
the experiences we’re showcasing in these episodes are accessible to all skill
levels, whether you’re an avid hiker or mountain biker or just a novice looking
to enjoy some time outside.”
