Visit the State of New Mexico Dept. of Tourism

Close by our Bed and Breakfast there are a great many fun and interesting things to see: restaurants, parks, great little shops, museums and other places of interest. Overflowing with History, Santa Fe, established in 1610, is one of the oldest settlements in America.

The Old Santa Fe Trail is still there right beside the Turquoise Bear Bed and Breakfast. The Santa Fe Trail was an historic 19th century transportation route across southwestern North America connecting Missouri with Santa Fe, New Mexico. At first an international trade route between the United States and Mexico, it served as the 1846 U.S. invasion route of New Mexico during the Mexican-American War. (read more here)

If you are here in September you'll want to catch some of the "Fiestas de Santa Fe" festivities. A celebration ongoing since 1712. Each year The Kiwanis Club of Santa Fe stages the burning of Witter Bynner and Will Shuster's Zozobra, kicking off the annual Fiestas de Santa Fe on the weekend following Labor Day. Zozobra centers around the ritual burning in effigy of Old Man Gloom, or Zozobra, to dispel the hardships and travails of the past year.

You can have a wonderful day exploring nearby Santa Fe. Just walk down the old Santa Fe Trail into the center of town and the Historic Santa Fe Plaza. Along the way there are a variety of art galleries, shops, hotels, cafes and restaurants, museums and parks. Starting with an easy walk from our B&B it is just a few blocks to the beautiful New Mexico State Capitol, the only round capitol building in the U.S. It was designed to resemble the Zia sun symbol. The image, which originated at Zia Pueblo, incorporates elements representing the sun's rays, the four directions, the four seasons, and the four phases of life.

Just beyond that is the Chapel of San Miguel which was founded in 1610 and is just before the Alameda, a long narrow park along the banks of the Santa Fe river. You may want to turn right here, across the river, and walk a block along the river to get to the next street which is Cathedral. Turn left here and you'll soon get to the St. Francis Cathedral Basilica. One of the first churches in Santa Fe was built on this site in 1610 though the Basilica that is here now was built in 1887.

If you took this detour to the Cathedral you should turn left before the Cathedral Park on E. San Francisco St. You can also visit the park and turn left at the next street E. Palace Ave., either way walk a block west to get to the Santa Fe Plaza Historic National Park. This is the heart of Santa Fe. Any direction you go from here you will run into museums, galleries, government offices or some fabulous place of interest. Wherever you head you can't go wrong.

Northwest of the Plaza is the New Mexico Muesum of Art. North you can't miss the Palace of the Governors the original seat of New Mexico state government, behind which is the New Mexico History Museum.

Tired yet? Well head on home to enjoy to peace and quiet of the Inn of the Turquoise Bear Bed and Breakfast. Later you can enjoy the night life, or head out to the mountains, or perhaps drive over to theThe Santa Fe Opera where every July and August since 1957, opera lovers have been drawn to the magnificent northern New Mexico mountains to enjoy productions by one of America's premier summer opera festivals. Here, The Santa Fe Opera's dramatic adobe theater blends harmoniously with the high desert landscape.
