A Sky Railway Train Ride Belongs On Your New Mexico Bucket List!

If you love train rides and beautiful views, you need to check out a Sky Railway train ride in beautiful and artsy Santa Fe, New Mexico!

Santa Fe is about an hour from Albuquerque and you can easily take a train ride from Albuquerque to Santa Fe to explore the town and then do a train ride in Santa Fe.

We drove to Santa Fe and checked out a sunset train ride. It was such a cool experience with beautiful views. I personally just love being on a train. There is a bartender on board so I enjoyed a beer, champagne, and a small charcuterie plate.

Check out all of my photos to inspire you to book a ticket!

I’m STILL working on the Ultimate Arizona Bucket List, there is just so much to do here in Arizona…but you already know that I will be including plenty of hiking!

Shaw Butte was the very first hike on the list of ‘moderate’ hikes. This was such a great hike with beautiful views and I could definitely feel the step up in skill level. I had to stop and rest a few times just because the hike is SO STEEP. It’s probably one of the steepest hikes I’ve done (I think it may even be steeper than Tumamoc Hill in Tucson).
