Welcome to the Turquoise Trail
The perfect day trip linking Santa Fe and Albuquerque!

Enjoy a breathtaking view from atop Sandia Crest, then drive back into history through the mining towns of Golden, Madrid, and Cerrillos, now coming alive with art, crafts, theater, music, museums and restaurants.
