Makes for a fantastic afternoon! We walked up Canyon Road from the Plaza, and had a great time visiting a lot of galleries, etc. Then had lunch up there as well. If not up for the walk we did see the free shuttles back as well.

What a magnificent street this is! It is custom made for browsing, shopping, looking around, enjoying art, dining and appreciation for all the good things in life that abound in lovely Santa Fe. With the Sangre de Cristo Mountains as a backdrop, Canyon Road is a half-mile street located in the Historic District of Santa Fe. It is touristy but a very SWANK touristy with over 100 Galleries, Art Studios, Jewelers, Boutiques & Restaurants. Adobe architecture gives Canyon Road its Old World charm and there are quaint houses and colorful gardens of flowers that line the way. Art is the primary ingredient, specifically Contemporary, Traditional, or Native American fine art I enjoyed a shuttle through Canyon Street and my favorite stop was the wind sculptures garden. I also admired the gorgeous groupings of hollyhocks along the road. Many of the doors here on houses are painted the color blue, as a long time traditional way to keep a domicile free from evil. Canyon Road is always festive, They like to celebrate the holidays accordingly. Hundreds of children, adults & pets dressed in their Halloween best, roam the area and collect candy & goody bags from Canyon Road businesses on Halloween. At Christmas, it is also magical and beautifully decorated. One of Santa Fe’s most beloved holiday traditions – the Farolito Walk, lights up the Canyon Road each holiday season. The Canyon Road half-mile walk from Paseo de Peralta to Palace Avenue can also be enjoyed by shuttle bus. The free Santa Fe Pick-Up shuttle runs every 15 minutes. Catch it at stops marked«Pick It Up Here.» Two are located on Canyon Road and one nearby, at Alameda and Paseo de Peralta. The shuttle will drop passengers off anywhere along the route, safety permitting. 5 UnilocalSTARS for the fabulous Canyon Road!
