Santa Fe Ghost and History Tours
Tour agency
👍👍 Recently went on one of Allan's evening ghost tours with a group from work. Most of the group was native to Santa Fe, and it was intriguing to hear that some of the old wives tales and whispers from childhood came from real Santa Fe history! Allan is a great tour guide, very animated and spirited. Y...

La Cueva Stone Cabin - Cibola National Forest

Penitente Morada image

Penitente Morada
Historical landmark
👍👍 Via a dirt road that looks more like a driveway, past the village cemetery with its handmade crosses, Abiquiu is home to the Penitente Morada. Framed by one of Georgia O'Keeffe's vistas. A simple bell and three wooden crosses refer to the secret society that gave rise to this chapel, recently restor...

Edge of the Plains Historical Marker
Historical landmark
👍👍 It’s extremely interesting to think about the change from Great Plains to Desert. The historical marker states that from this point on the soil turns to “caliche, sand and gravel.” As a traveler, I have always been intrigued by this transition. They need to clean this marker up as the weeds have com...

Pot Creek Cultural Site

👍👍 Fantastic wayside with a quick manicured 1 mile loop trail. If you only want to see the Pueblo and kiva, it's only a few hundred feet down the trail.

La Bajada Hill, El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro National Historic Trail image
19
La Bajada Hill, El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro National Historic Trail
Historical landmark
👍 This is scenic, but most of it is closed. Since others are airing their feelings about Cochiti Pueblo, which closed the road, I want to make sure the truth is known: a small group of rude, entitled Anglos were abusing the site, which is filled with the pueblo's history and artifacts. They would not...

Giant Red Arrow image

Giant Red Arrow
Historical landmark
👍👍 The name of the shopping center is Indian Plaza, built in 1961. The owner/developer/builder had a logo featuring a smiling Paiute Indian holding a large spear-like red arrow stuck in the ground at his feet. Thus was the 1960s. His uncle had the idea of a sign shaped like the arrow, lettered at the f...
