Santa Fe sits on I-25 about 60 miles north of Albuquerque and 70 miles south of Taos. Highway 84/285 heads north toward Española and the Rio Grande valley. The downtown historic area with its narrow adobe-lined streets is not RV-friendly -- park your rig at camp and use a tow vehicle or the city bus system to explore downtown. Fuel stations and major retailers including a Walmart are available along the Cerrillos Road commercial corridor south of downtown. A Whole Foods and several good grocery stores handle provisioning. Cell coverage is excellent in the city and along I-25, weakening in the surrounding mountain canyons. The altitude of over 7,000 feet can affect visitors unaccustomed to elevation -- stay hydrated and allow time to acclimate.

Explore the Santa Fe Area
Dump your tanks in Santa Fe before heading into the mountain country north toward Taos or east toward Las Vegas, New Mexico where dump stations become limited. Canyon Road's galleries are free to browse and the walking is pleasant -- go on a weekday morning to avoid the weekend crowds. The Meow Wolf immersive art installation on the south side is a unique experience unlike anything else in the country. The Santa Fe Farmers Market on Saturday mornings is one of the best in the Southwest with local chile, produce, and prepared foods. If visiting in August, Indian Market weekend transforms the Plaza area with extraordinary Native American art but book camping far in advance as every available site fills up. The drive north on the High Road to Taos through Chimayo, Truchas, and the mountain villages is one of New Mexico's most scenic back routes.
