The Santa Fe Rail Trail: This is a fantastic resource and an incredible trail that's a real joy to run on. You can get a solid run along pavement from end to end of Santa Fe and an unpaved section that will take you deep into the boonies. The trail is intended to eventually end up all the way in Lamy. At a couple points the trail does cross some sections of busy road which can be stressful in New Mexico; people drive fast, Descansos are on every street corner, and pedestrians are few and far between. For the most part, however, it's a great and scenic run parallel to the New Mexico Railrunner train which comes pretty regular during the day. My favorite area is the section here:
Where the walls have been decorated with some absolutely fantastic murals that are just so perfectly New Mexico. All in all it's a great run on a great trail and an excellent way to see a solid chunk of Santa Fe
