A 360 Degree View from Santa Fe Skies RV Park
Not only do the park owners make a stay here a delightful experience, but there is an added attraction that no other location in the area can offer! Looking in the distance from the RV Park you can see an unobstructed 360-degree view of the Santa Fe area. The landforms are the most conspicuous sights that you can see from the park. The Jemez Mountains to the west are the remnants of a huge volcano which some believe to have been taller than Mount Everest. An eruption about a million years ago lowered the Jemez to their present height and scattered volcanic debris as far as the eastern United States. The Valle Grande lies just behind the peaks that one can see in the Jemez and is credited with being one of the largest and most perfectly shaped volcano calderas in the United States.
To the Northeast are the tallest mountains of all, the Sangre de Cristos that rise up to 12,622 feet above sea level at Santa Fe Baldy. On a clear day if you look to the Southwest at a distance of about 90 miles you can see the peak of Mount Taylor rising to 11,301 feet. Farther to the southwest lies the Sandia Crest of the Sandia Mountains rising to an altitude of 10,678 feet, with the Ortiz Mountains rising to 8,897 feet in the foreground. Far in the distance beyond the Sandias is the Manzano Mountain range about 60 miles from the park. Finally to the southeast the land drops off at the foot of the Sangres into the Galisteo Basin, an area that sunk millions of years ago.
