I adore Santa Fe, NM. It's the oldest state capital city in the US, and *loaded* with beauty + history.
I have never been there and would really like to do so someday. I'm interested in the cultural aspects. 
SO much history! For thousands of years the area was occupied by indigenous peoples,.
I imagine there are all sorts of interesting archaeological features. Also didn't the artist Georgia O'Keefe make her home there?
Her ranch was in nearby Abiquiu, and the Georgia O'Keefe museum is in downtown Santa Fe. Crazy that the earliest settlement in that area was around 900!
