You will like the museums but the food is the greatest. Make sure you have a green chili cheeseburger. Not a fast food one, though. Make sure you can answer the State question. "Red or Green?".
Good hunting.

Besides seeing all the wonderful images shared here reading things that pique ones curiosity keeps me coming back for more. This is a prime example. Until I read this I had never heard of "Red or Green?". A quick google search provided the background. =)

I would think that a resident of New Mexico would know how to spell 'chile.'
And yes...you have to have a green chile cheeseburger while you are there. I moved to northern Arizona after living in Taos for 10+ years, and man do I miss the burgers and all the other New Mexican dishes. Red or Green?...give me Christmas (both red and green)!
The Andrew Smith Gallery is a must if you are a fan of photography.
A couple of must drives in my opinion. First the Turquoise Trail between Santa Fe and Albuquerque and spend some time in Madrid. Also the High Road from Santa Fe to Taos with a stop at El Santuario de Chimayo. And spend some time in Taos. If you have time the enchanted circle drive through Red River and Eagles Nest like the other two I mentioned yield great opportunities for great images and the light there is truly inspiring.
El Santuario de Chimayo.
North of Taos on the way to Chama near Ghost Ranch
And other assorted places and photographs that I found by exploring the area.

...actually BOTH spellings are acceptable, Adam.
I agree, but there are those that feel differently. In my time living in northern New Mexico, I never saw it spelled 'chili' except at fast food restaurants and even then they were referring to the meat dish (with or without beans) and not a chile pepper or sauce. I read somewhere that if you find yourself sitting in a restaurant in New Mexico that offers red or green "chili" on its menu, the correct course of action is to promptly find another restaurant.
Anyways...I originally mentioned this all in the name of good fun. Man, I wish I could find some good New Mexican cuisine here in Flagstaff.
I mean I get on sensory overload out there. The light and the environment is so vast and complex that I usually wind up before dawn to about 10:00 and from 3:00 till after sundown shooting and I could be spending all that time in the galleries. Really good work is everywhere in the galleries and in Madrid, Santa Fe and Taos you can't swing a dead cat and not hit a photographer, sculptor or painter and they all wait tables but what a great creative environment to be in.
Thanks for all of the info...
We had a great weekend. It ended up being a family vacation instead of a photography trip, but I did get some cool shots on a hike at Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument. Here are a couple of them:
