A WORD FROM THE PUBLISHER

As we transition into summer, Santa Fe and New Mexico have a great deal to offer. Besides the usual outdoor activities of fishing, hiking, camping and biking, there are a few unusual activities to take part in as well. Stargazing at Salinas Pueblo Mission National Monument is a great way to look at all the visual wonders our skies have to offer. Stars, planets, constellations and galaxies are easily seen at night, due to the relatively little interference from artificial light. The International Dark Sky Association designated the monument a “Dark Sky Park”.

Another unique outdoor activity is the Angel Fire Zipline Adventure Tour, located—yes you guessed it—in Angel Fire, New Mexico. Four tours take you on a spectacular sky ride, experiencing fresh alpine air and breathtaking views as you zip through the treetops on this unforgettable adventure.
