  • I am looking to visit Santa Fe in March or November 2020 which would be the best month? What month would have more activity and sight seeing available.

    Answer Report Abuse
    • March and November, both months are equally good to visit Santa with almost all the activities available for tourists. But, it is recommended to plan your trip in either late March as the chance of unpredictable weather is lesser or in early November to avoid snow. Planning a late March vacation means Santa Fe will not be as crowded as it is in the peak Spring season, but you will still get to experience the best of it. And when you visit it in November, you will get to be part of more festivities than in March.

    Answer Report Abuse
    • You can take a ride on the Santa Fe Southern Railway which takes you on an 18-mile ride from Santa Fe to the small village of Lamy. I am not sure where you can spot bison in Santa Fe. It would be best to ask the locals around.
