Santa Fe National Forest Scenic Byway originates in downtown Santa Fe at the oldest public building in America – the Palace of the Governors – and loops 15 miles through an aspen-evergreen forest to the Santa Fe Ski Basin. The Santa Fe National Forest covers 1.6 million acres of mountains, valleys and mesas ranging from 5,000 to 13,000 feet in elevation. Visitors don’t have to travel far to find forested mountain slopes, colorful volcanic formations, deep river gorges, and primitive wilderness areas. Thousands of cultural and archaeological sites reflect the Santa Fe National Forest's rich historical heritage and the many cultures that value this landscape.
