  • Goosenecks State Park, UT

    Goosenecks State Park, UT

    Three days in Santa Fe–Big Trip #1

    We visited Santa Fe in March 2016 as part of Big Trip #1. We had a fantastic stay in Santa Fe, but we struggled a bit to get a real feel for the city. There are several distinct neighborhoods, connected by highways and strip mall corridors. Downtown is touristy; the Railyard District has a mix of…
