Warm-Weather Getaways

Warmed by world-class art and nearly constant sunshine, Santa Fe offers a bright midwinter escape. An arts community launched by Wisconsin native Georgia O'Keeffe has grown to more than 200 galleries and a dozen museums. There's rarely a bad day for painting—or anything else, really—in Santa Fe, which sees 300-plus sunny days a year and enjoys the crystalline atmosphere of a 7,000-foot elevation. Take guided walks to learn about the area's history, debate red vs. green chile sauce on your enchiladas, and shop for art finds on the Turquoise Trail.
