Family Reunions in Santa Fe

One of the many peacocks at Rancho Jacona

In the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo - just above Rancho Jacona

Now on the flanks of the Sangre, where snow is often found into late August.

The Santa Fe Gallery Association is, of course, vibrant. There are gallery openings on Friday evenings.

A typical native American pueblo work of art - predicated on at least 8 centuries of tradition.

A kiva at Bandelier - just 28 miles from Rancho Jacona.

Mountain biking is challenging on the mesa rims and in the mountains on single track trails.

Pack horses taking a raft and rafters to the bottom of the Rio Grande Gorge north of Taos for a wilderness journey.

Whitewater rafting in the nearby Rio Grande.

The gorge of the Rio Grande north of Taos about 70 minutes drive from Rancho Jacona.

The Rio Grande down by us flows by and around mesas.

Pajarito is above Los Alamos - across the Rio Grande valley from Rancho Jacona. The slopes are family oriented and are open only on weekends and holidays. 20 minutes away from Rancho Jacona.
