Uncovering Women's Stories on the Santa Fe Trail

1 week ago | newmexicomagazine.org | Kate Nelson

What compelled you to write this book? There were so many points of entry for me to study the women of the Santa Fe Trail. I have lived along the Santa Fe Trail and have been the chief executive of museums in Santa Fe and St. Louis that hold important artifact, archival, and photographic collections relating to the history of the Santa Fe Trail. In my early professional life as an archaeologist, I excavated sites with ceramics that marked the change in goods the trail brought to New Mexico.
High Noon General Store Elevates Everyday Life in Santa Fe

MORE THAN 100 YEARS AGO, Hannah Humpheries left her home in Wales and traveled, first by boat, then by train, finally by carriage, to the booming city of San Francisco. There, she made her living by running a general store. “I wasn’t quite as brave as my great-grandmother,” says Emily Warner, owner of High Noon General Store in Santa Fe. “But I did do something wild with no safety net and no help.” Warner was inspired to make a move after visiting the City Different in 2020.
Savor Unique Dishes at Capital Coal Eatery in Santa Fe

SCANNING THE TABLES AND BOOTHS at Capital Coal Neighborhood Eatery, in Santa Fe, I notice a refreshing disregard for traditional culinary pairings. One diner chases a hot-chicken slider with a kimchi quesadilla. Another pairs a vegan poke bowl with a wedge salad slathered in bacon and blue cheese. A group of friends shares French dips, nachos, and Korean bibimbap, while a solo patron relaxes with a Frito pie and a glass of rosé.

1 Visit one exhibition at two museums. Two spaces in Taos—the Harwood Museum of Art and the Couse-Sharp Historic Site—host a double reception on Friday for the new exhibition, Legacy in Line: The Art of Gene Kloss. The exhibition displays the late artist’s works in both places. Kloss was a prolific printmaker who first came to New Mexico in 1925 on her honeymoon, when she fell in love with the landscape.
The Best Things to Do in New Mexico This April

ON JUNE 25, 1857, Edward Beale left New Mexico’s Fort Defiance on a surveying mission along the 35th Parallel Route to the Colorado River on the Arizona–California border. The party included 12 wagons, 44 soldiers, 95 dogs, horses, and mules—and 25 camels. Part of a U.S. Army experiment, the camels were a Sahara-size success, lugging 700-pound packs of supplies with little trouble and outperforming the mules. “The camels really captivated me,” says Doug Baum, a history buff and former zookeeper.
Sacred Jemez Pueblo Secures Co-Management of Sacred Banco Bonito Lands

3 weeks ago | newmexicomagazine.org | Elizabeth Miller

IN 2012, Jemez Pueblo tribal and religious leadership filed a lawsuit to reclaim the Valles Caldera as their aboriginal and most sacred lands. In October 2024, a settlement between the National Park Service and the pueblo resulted in co-management of Banco Bonito. The 3,000-acre portion of the preserve includes shards of traditional black-on-white pottery and thousands of field houses used by ancestral Jemez people while tending crops.
Editor's Letter: Long Views

“IT’S ALMOST LIKE a meditation,” says Ranger Corey Lycopolus, as members of our group pause to compose photos with their Polaroid instant cameras. We’ve hiked about a half mile from the Valles Caldera National Preserve’s ranger station to a stand of ponderosa pines. Sunlight streams through the branches, which frame Redondo Peak in the distance of the 14-mile-wide volcanic crater.
Explore the Valles Caldera National Preserve

WHEN JORGE SILVA-BAÑUELOS showed National Park Service staff the 40-acre parcel of Sulphur Springs land he wanted to add to the Valles Caldera National Preserve, they were more than a little hesitant. “Are you sure?” they asked. Abandoned vehicles and trailers, black pipes, and the footprints of bathhouses burned to their last timbers would make for a massive cleanup project. But Silva-Bañuelos, the preserve’s superintendent, was positive.
Holistic Skin Care in Albuquerque's Sage & Pine Spa

3 weeks ago | newmexicomagazine.org | Maria Manuela

AS I APPROACH Sage & Pine Holistic Skincare on a dreary morning in Albuquerque, the warm aroma of frankincense floats in the doorway. The scent brings a sense of calm before I even set foot inside the old adobe home. Dove gray walls, crystal accents, and leafy plants carry the soothing ambience throughout the spa. A hint of earthy and floral notes from the skin-care products makes me take a deep breath.
