Escapees Santa Fe Hangout

Escapees Santa Fe Hangout is coming to Santa Fe Skies RV Park in Santa Fe, NM!

Experience the beauty and history of "The City Different"

One of the oldest cities in the United States, New Mexico’s state capital of Santa Fe has a rich history and heritage. The city boasts streets filled with adobe buildings, Spanish colonial churches and magnificent Mexican missions; an arts scene that spans from traditional to contemporary; eclectic award-winning cuisine; and a beautiful setting at the foot of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. During the seven-night Santa Fe Hangout, New Mexico residents Cindy and Phil Newman SKP# 173927 will share with you some of their favorite sites and activities in and around this beautiful city.

Your Hangout experience will begin with a guided 2-mile walking tour through historic downtown Santa Fe, during which you’ll explore 400 years of history, culture, and architecture. From ancient Indian Pueblos to the birth of the atomic age, your museum-trained guide will bring to life the incredible true stories, colorful characters, and unique places that make Santa Fe “The City Different.”

You’ll tour the New Mexico History Museum and the 400-year-old Palace of the Governors, the country’s oldest continuously occupied public building, and then shop for art, jewelry, and other works by Native American artists who exhibit and sell their wares under the Palace’s iconic portal.

Santa Fe is nearly synonymous with historic religious architecture. You’ll visit some of the city’s most famous churches, including docent-guided tours of the San Miguel Chapel–the oldest church in the U.S.–and the Loretto Chapel, known for its floating two-story “Miraculous Stairs”.

An art powerhouse, the City Different is home to more than 250 galleries, 100 of which are located on the winding half mile of Canyon Road, which you’ll visit during the Hangout. You’ll also get to view one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of contemporary New Mexican art during a guided tour of the State Capitol building, a unique example of how art and politics can enhance each other.

At the Santa Fe Railyard, a major shopping, entertainment, dining and events hub, you’ll prowl one of the best and largest farmer’s markets in the country, followed by time to shop, take a stroll in the 13-acre award-winning green space, view contemporary artworks in the high-end galleries, and enjoy lunch together in one of the district’s restaurants.

And for something completely different, you’ll experience Meow Wolf’s House of Eternal Return, a mind-bending, explorable art installation for people of all ages. Featuring over 70 rooms of immersive art, House of Eternal Return will take you on a macrocosmic adventure into fantastic realms of story and exploration.

There’s plenty to do outside Santa Fe as well! At the Pecos National Historical Park, park rangers will lead you on two hikes (2 1/4 miles total) during which you’ll learn about Ancestral Puebloan sites and culture as well as the Battle of Glorieta Pass that was fought here during the Civil War. And in Madrid, you’ll see how a group of artists brought new life to this ghost town with boutiques, galleries, antique stores and the historic Mine Shaft Tavern, where you’ll enjoy dinner (try their famous green chile cheeseburger!) on the last night of the Hangout.

All this, plus an optional brewery tour and tasting, live music, shopping in the Plaza, potluck meals in camp and more await you at the Santa Fe Hangout!
