4 Things to Do Santa Fe, NM
After our extended stay in Albuquerque, we made a short trip up north to Santa Fe, New Mexico to meet some of my family who drove out from Texas. We stayed a little over a week and during our trip we did a variety of things. We share our list of things to do in Santa Fe including 1) visit Meow Wolf, 2) ski and snowboard at Ski Santa Fe, 3) try the best New Mexico wine DH Lescombes, and 4) buy homemade chocolates from Todos Santos Chocolates & Confections. Don’t have time to read this now? Pin it for later!

Glorieta, NM
One of my cousins is the executive director at Glorieta Adventure Camps and graciously hosted us all. They have RV spots and it’s the offseason so we basically had the area all to ourselves which was a nice change. We definitely had an array of weather while we were there - it was sunny and dry when we got there, but it rained & snowed probably six inches by mid-week, and then the last few days it was sunny and mostly thawed out thankfully. We had to traverse a dirt road to get in and out of the RV area and it became more like a mud road for awhile. Not great for the low profile Fiat! We had to ask for 4WD rides from my family a couple of times in order to go out. Jeri still had to climb on the roof the last day and remove the last of the snow so we could have a smooth departure on the final day.
Santa Fe, NM
This is our list of four things to do in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Visit Meow Wolf which was very similar to the City Museum we visited last year in St Louis. I’ll just use the description right off their website for lack of better words: “Meow Wolf is comprised of over 300 employees creating and supporting art across a variety of media, including architecture, sculpture, painting, photography, video production, cross-reality (AR/VR/MR), music, audio engineering, narrative writing, costuming, performance, and more! “ See photos below to get a better idea, but it’s very cool and unique. The photos don’t do it justice. We also learned watching the trailer for this documentary that George R.R. Martin put up the money to get this place started and it took about ten years to become reality. Sounds like an interesting backstory we’ll have to watch sometime.
Ski and snowboard at Ski Santa Fe. I have never seen trees covered in so much fresh powder. One night the mountain got seven inches of snow and the next night another eight! Try the best New Mexico wine DH Lescombes. We had an amazing wine tasting at Herve Wine Bar. Buy some homemade chocolates from Todos Santos Chocolates & Confections. They have such unique but amazing chocolates.
Was it worth it?
Meow Wolf tickets are $30/ea and it takes a solid two hours to take it all in. So it’s expensive, but worth it for the unique and well executed experience.
Meow Wolf Tip
When we arrived there was only one line but after a few minutes two lines were formed: one for people with tickets and one for people who need to purchase tickets. The line for people with tickets was shorter so I purchased tickets with my phone in line.
