Our journey begins in the colorful desert and alpine wilderness set outside of lively Santa Fe. Our trails then transport us to a magical prehistoric settlement and on to Ghost Ranch where we soak up the pastel-hued landscapes that inspired Georgia O'Keefe. Making our way to Taos, we explore magnificent box canyons, traditional pueblos, and lush alpine meadows. Add flavorful southwestern cuisine and distinctive inns, and you'll discover firsthand why New Mexico is referred to as the "Land of Enchantment".
