Accommodations
We stayed at the Santa Fe KOA Journey campground. We had a wonderful one-room cabin. The campground was well shaded and quite. It sits off of interstate Highway 25. And is only miles from Pecos National Historical Park and Glorieta Pass Civil War battlefield. And Santa Fe is just up the road.
The Santa Fe KOA has a great common patio area where you can grill a steak, have a glass of wine, or just read a book. While relaxing on the well shaded patio. I was delighted by the hummingbirds whizzing by while reading my Roadside History of New Mexico book.
We use the campground as our home base. From there we were able to visit the Santa Fe Plaza, San Miguel Mission, Palace of the Governors and Loretto Chapel and of course the Pecos National Historical Park.
