Lots of birds. Trails not difficult. Beautiful scenery.
Really beautiful grounds and nice hiking trails that arent too difficult. Really friendly volunteers staff the center and will do their best to answer your questions.
Go early or later to hike the loop in summer, very helpful visitors center. Excellent classroom setting.
This is a small nature center located on the east side of Santa Fe. It has a small display room, books for sale, a pretty flower garden, and a 2-3 mile hiking trail. There are also historical buildings that were artist Randall Daveys homestead. The site is very attractive to birds and depending on the season, offers a wide variety of our feathered friends. There is a small entry fee.
An unexpected surprise in Santa Fe. If youre a birder, the property has plenty of land and habitat to have some good times exploring. Look for the large family of wild turkeys.
Situated in the mountains above Santa Fe at the end of Canyon Rd, this is a wonderful bird sanctuary with lots of trails. I like it because its got some manageable hiking trails - they are steep but there are places to stop and search for wildlife (dont forget your binoculars!). Staff is friendly and if you dont feel like a hike there is a small garden with benches you can sit and relax in. Drop by the gift shop for bird books, bird feeders and other gifts for bird-lovers. Every Saturday they have a bird hike with a local expert and they keep track of species spotted on a board in the front. A hidden gem of a sanctuary!
Has always been one of my favorite places to hike in sf. My toddlers also enjoy it!
Awesome hiking trails. Bird watching, and beautiful mother nature. Highly recommend.
Learned many new birds (for me, a beginner) on the weekly Saturday walk. Also enjoyed the trails past giant Ponderosa pines.
Some nice easy trails, good selection of bird books, close to town, easy to find just keep going to end of the road.
Beautiful scenery and hiking trails; friendly and helpful staff; and we also enjoyed the tour and history of the Randall Davey house!
Always love this place. Just plain beautiful and wonderful selection of birds
Beautiful, easy to find, great resource, friendly people!
Such a nice quiet space with soany birds and pretty garden spaces and very close to the town of Santa Fe
Beautiful site! The colors of Autumn were abundant. Pleasant, clean facility.
Beautiful scenery but the trails are not well marked. Be careful there are no trespassing areas that are easy to wander into unknowingly and there is a large fine posted.
What a great place! My husband and I were in the Santa Fe area and happened upon this place while checking out general birding in a Google search. We found the Center and took a short hike, and signed up for a Saturday morning birding field trip. It was great! Of the 12 or so people there, all but the two volunteers leading the trip were from out of state, like we were, just passing through. Great birding, very friendly and knowledgeable guides (Corkey and Warren), and perfect chilly weather for winter birding in the southwest. Great place with LOTS of bird activity!If youre in the Santa Fe area and are a birder, DO make one of their Saturday 8:30 AM field trips. We were actually spending the night before up in Los Alamos, but it was well worth getting up very early and driving back down to Santa Fe to join this field trip! The bonus was the fabulous scenery of all the red-rock mesas in the early morning light!
A serene place. Watching the many hummingbirds buzzing about is a joy.
Great place for a walk. Check out the hummingbird feeder.
Beautiful nature center with a nice trail.
Great little getaway in town. borrow a pair of binoculars and get some fresh air.
Fabulous staff and well maintained grounds. Many activities for naturalists, and especially good for birding.
