On September 14 and 15, we head to Santa Fe, New Mexico, which is sure to be rich with history and culture. Sitting at the foot of the Sangre de Cristo mountain range, Santa Fe is a magical, exuberant, colorful destination at any time of year. Not only is it the oldest U.S. capital city, but with an elevation of 7,000 feet, it’s also the highest. Santa Fe has long been a center for arts and culture, and ranks as the country’s third largest art market, with nearly 300 galleries and dealers to explore. Then on October 5 and 6, our waypoint is Carbondale, Illinois. Hidden away at the tip of Illinois, Carbondale is a great place for visitors to enjoy lakes, state parks, and a national forest. Carbondale was named one of the Top 101 Best Outdoor Towns and included in Outdoor Magazine’s Top 200 places for sportsmen and women to enjoy rock climbing, hiking, biking, hunting, fishing, boating, and geocaching, in the Shawnee Hills.
