13.) Outdoors!!!!!!
Santa Fe is surrounded by public land and is the stepping off point for a variety of outdoor activities including hiking, camping, fishing, white water rafting, horseback riding, skiing, mountain biking, road cycling, and more. The Santa Fe National Forest is over 1.6 million acres and its boundary lies just seven miles from downtown Santa Fe. For a quick hike, the Dale Ball Trail System on the city's edge offers 30+ miles of maintained trails that interconnect, making it easy to pick just the right distance. The Aspen Vista Trail is higher up in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and provides more of a challenge and outstanding views, as do the network of trails connecting to the Winsor Trail. Ski Santa Fe is 16 miles from the Santa Fe Plaza and provides 660 acres of alpine skiing in the winter and hiking in the summer. Many of the warm-weather hiking trails become Nordic ski and snowshoe trails when the snow falls. The importance of the mountains to Santa Fe can't be overstated. They set the city in natural beauty, provide inspiration for artists and outdoor enthusiasts alike, and help define the city's weather throughout the year.
