Santa Fe sits at 7,200 feet in the Sangre de Cristo foothills, the oldest capital city in the United States. It was a seat of government before the Mayflower landed. The Plaza, its center, has been in continuous use for more than four hundred years.

The city looks the way it does on purpose. A local ordinance requires buildings in the historic district to follow Pueblo Revival and Territorial styles: adobe walls, earth tones, flat roofs, wooden portals. The result is a city that reads as a single material. Tan and brown and terracotta, softened by cottonwoods and aspens, sharpened by a sky that sits closer than it should at this altitude.

Canyon Road runs half a mile uphill from the Paseo de Peralta, lined with more than eighty galleries. On Friday evenings the doors open for weekly art walks and the street fills with people drifting between sculpture gardens and painted courtyards. The art economy is not a tourism overlay. It is the city’s actual industry, alongside state government and a research corridor anchored by Los Alamos National Laboratory forty-five minutes north.

In August, Indian Market fills the Plaza and surrounding blocks with the world’s largest juried show of Native American art. A month later, Fiestas de Santa Fe closes with the burning of Zozobra, a fifty-foot marionette stuffed with papers on which people have written their anxieties. The crowd roars while it burns. By October, the aspens on the road to Ski Santa Fe have turned, and you can drive from the Plaza to a 12,000-foot summit in twenty minutes.
