I'm somewhat familiar with an area just (and I do mean *JUST*) on the outskirts of Santa Fe! Across from the National Cemetery. It's a trail, up through an arroyo, heading into what USED to be the city dump! Now (if it's still there) it's a hiking trail. BE CAREFUL, though! It's IN an arroyo and flash floods ARE a danger in rainy seasons! Check before you go!!
Get in touch with me and I can be your "native guide"... but you'll have to do the driving. I'm clear on the other side of town, now. Still... there's places here, as well. And if you don't mind driving... there's a lot of places to explore!
