Nature lovers and history buffs will have much to enjoy outdoors when visiting Nambe Falls. There is plenty to captivate the eye, as this area features such natural amenities as waterfalls, fishing, camping, and inviting hiking trails. The excellent lookout points are numerous, but make sure to check out the area above Nambe Pueblo, which is one of the most breathtaking. The spot is also where the annual Fourth of July dance ceremony is held.
The Bandelier National Monument is an attraction that stands as a dramatic reminder of the astounding culture that has inhabited Santa Fe and its surrounding areas for hundreds of years. The Monument itself is a beautiful canyon that is 45 miles west of Santa Fe and was home to ancient Pueblos in AD 1100 to 1550. The rustic area features 65 miles of trails that also include some visually arresting abandoned Pueblo villages.
Santa Fe is unquestionably a celebration of various cultures, and these different influences can be seen in the various works of pottery at Jackalope Pottery. Choose from kachinas and pinon in one building and weathered cedar, terra cotta and kiva fireplaces in another. Jackalope Pottery's staff and management works hard to consistently provide an interesting and ever-changing inventory, and that is one of the many reasons why this is a favorite stop for both locals and visitors who want to take home a little piece of Santa Fe's uniqueness.
