The Museum of Contemporary Native Arts prides itself in presenting "Indian art through Indian eyes." To rightfully accomplish that mission, this museum presents a dazzling collection of artwork by artists who have attended or taught at the College of Santa Fe's Museum of Contemporary Native Arts. The resulting collection that is housed here adds up to a staggering 6,500 original pieces created by over 3,000 artists.

There's nothing like seeing a performance at The Lensic, Santa Fe's Performing Arts Center. Some of the world's finest dancers, actors and musicians can be regularly found on this entertainment venue's classically-styled stage. After extensive restoration, the center re-opened its doors in 2001, and has since continued the tradition of presenting an impressive schedule of must-see performances that have continued to delight audiences of all ages.

Great scenery and a welcome chance to get a little exercise outdoors await you when you visit the Arroyo de los Chamisos Trail. This trail winds through the southwestern part of Santa Fe. The 2.5 mile paved path follows a chamisa-lined arroyo and offers spectacular mountain views. So whether you want to walk or ride your bike, this is the trail to take. Also, dogs are allowed but must be on their leashes at all times.
