The Plaza is the hub of Santa Fe. Under the portal on Palace Ave. is where you can find the Natives sitting there selling their wares just like they have done for more than a century. Plus, it is a great place to just sit on a bench and people watch. The radiating streets are home to many interesting shops, museums, and art galleries.

The amount of pottery shards on the ground here is mind blowing. It really gives one the sense that this place was inhabited by many, many people a very long, long time ago. Easy to more difficult trails with guide.
