My sister and I wanted to go to Santa Fe for a long time. So we bought alot of books and did alot of research. While the trips we planned took several days, we felt this book gave us ideas and helpful advice in using our time wisely, especially since we were going to be there in March- not really the most colorful time of year.

RE: From Santa Fe to O'Keeffe Country: A One Day Journey... the seven-hour 162-mile New Mexico sightseeing trip. I expect this book has some useful information, and as a disclaimer, I have not read it yet. That said, I cannot imagine how one can "do" this itinerary in 7 hours. On my last trip to the area I drove from Santa Fe to Abiquiu and toured O'Keeffe's home, and then drove on to Ghost Ranch where I shot some photos and took in that astounding landscape, and then a short stop in the gift shop. From there I drove back to my casita in Santa Fe. It was an all-day trip, with a leisurely lunch in the middle in Abiquiu. So how can one possibly do as the authors suggest and see the opera, Native American pueblos, Anasazi ruins, village towns, and the homes and studios of GOK in seven hours? I visited the Anasazi ruins many years earlier, climbing the rocks and seeing inside the caves. That too was an all-day trip from Santa Fe. I think Georgia would laugh. Sign me, Mystified.
