LODGING:

TRAVEL:
AIR: There is an airport in Santa Fe that is serviced by only a few airlines
with scheduled flights to and from Dallas, Los Angeles, Denver, and
Phoenix. Most folks fly into Albuquerque International Airport about
60 miles away and take a shuttle or rental car to Santa Fe. (Albuquerque
is a SouthWest Airlines hub.) It should be mentioned that a car would
not be necessary in Santa Fe as everything will be within walking distance
of everything else.
TRAIN: Folks traveling by Amtrak to Santa Fe are advised to disembark
in Albuquerque and take the RailRunner train to Santa Fe. It leaves from
the same station. This train is mainly for commuters, however, so there
is no service from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM. See schedule here: http://www.nmrailrunner.com/rio-metro-schedules/train-schedule/train-weekday.
An alternative is to disembark in Lamy, 16 miles from Santa Fe, and take
the shuttle to Santa Fe. It would be wise to make a reservation a day
in advance to ensure service: 505-982-8829.
If you have questions, contact tomas@stonefoundation.org or phone: 505-989-4644
