Top 6 Nature & Wildlife Areas in Santa Fe, New Mexico (NM)

September 13, 2021 Tynisha Seiler

Venture into the unspoiled beauty of 7,000-foot Rocky Mountain vistas, marvel at the contrast of ancient native culture mixed with modern arts, feast on legendary cuisine and relax in rustic sophistication. A visit to Santa Fe, Travel & Leisure's #1 Cultural Getaway, feels a lot like a visit to Europe. The Spanish Colonial charm of this historic destination has been enchanting travelers for over 400 years. And Santa Fe shows no signs of slowing down.

This 135-acre nature sanctuary serves as the state office and educational center for the National Audubon Society, which offers education programs and free natural history and birding walks throughout the year.

Being a local, I went here for the first time and wished I’d come sooner. The short trail behind the Audubon center was excellent- well-maintained and full of birds to identify. I will be back to enjoy the solitude and natural beauty.

Nestled in just the foot hills 15 minutes from the plaza. What a fun experience to see live turkeys humingbirds and talk to the staff who BTW may be older but are sharp as a tack! Recommend this one highly!

Reviewed By 749WendyM749 - Arlington, United States

We enjoyed an easy hike up to some amazing views! We took some really great photos and even found some interesting rocks. We could have spent more time here if we had planned for it but we’d up here on a whim while driving back from Santa Fe.
