California Nestie with NM questions
Hi ladies!
My DH and I are thinking of visiting New Mexico for a week. We'll be going in early April and are thinking of staying in Santa Fe.
What's the weather like that time of year? Any recommendations on good spots to stay (we're looking for a resort type hotel ideally with a spa)? Anything we should visit while there? Restaurant recommendations?
Thank you for your help!

Re: California Nestie with NM questions
April in Santa Fe can still be cold because of the elevation (7500 ft). Early April you could still get snow in Santa Fe, late April it's a bit warmer. And as always in NM, you get pretty big temperature changes between day and night. You want to bring layers for clothes.
For resort-spas, Ten Thousand Waves or Sunrise Springs have the best spa. I also like Inn of the Five Fraces or Inn at Loreto and Bishop's Lodge. Almost all the resorts - Hilton, El Dorado, Loretto, etc. have spas. You just need to find the one you like the most.
For things to visit, there's the standards. Go walk around the Plaza and window shop the high end shops. Go walk along all the galleries on Canyon Road. Go to the Guadalupe District (over by the Railyard). Go to the O'Keefe Museum. Go to the Musuems of NM: Fine Arts, Indian Arts, International Folklore, Palace of the Governors. Take a day trip up to Taos. Go to Bandelier. Drive down the Turquoise Trail (NM 14) and stop in Cerrillos and Madrid. Go to Las Golindrinas for colonial Spanish living history.
For off the beaten path, go down to 2nd St and Baca St for the places locals go. Go out to Pecos National Monument. Go see the amazing public art gallery in the capital building (aka the Roundhouse).
If it's warm and the snow has started melting, rafting the Taos Gorge/Box is amazing. Take one of the sunset trains on Santa Fe Southern Railroad.
For resteraunts, I like Cafe Pasqual (haute New Mex/Mexican fusion), Blue Corn (New Mex), Tecolote Cafe (New Mex), Guadalupe Cafe (New Mex), Harry's Roadhouse (eclectic & popular), Zia Cafe (amazing sweet potatoe fries), El Farol (tapas and live flamenco), Geronimos, Inn of the Anasazi, Plaza Cafe, Kawakawa Chocolate House, Counter Culture, SantaCafe, Body, Tulips, Tia Sophia, and Coyote Cafe (the roof deck) .
