山脉+冒险
Resting in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains with a population of 80,000, 圣达菲是美国海拔最高的城市. 是滑雪者和寄宿者的首选目的地, 徒步旅行者和背包客, 山地自行车和登山者, 这个城市位于7点,000英尺,并交付5,000 feet of elevation gain between downtown and the Santa Fe ski basin, 比圣达菲高12倍的城市,000 feet. The result? 圣诞老人喜欢两个世界合而为一:温暖, 阳光明媚的城市周边, 松树林的山顶被白雪覆盖. In addition, the Rio Grande brings both river and lake sports to the region’s water enthusiasts.
Ski + Board
半小时后到达圣达菲滑雪盆地.
Did you know that six ski basins are within two hours of Santa Fe, and that our own 圣达菲滑雪盆地 离校园只有15英里的上坡吗? 在12点有89条小径,000 feet, Santa Fe Johnnies can literally ski in the morning and hit seminar in the evening. Or, stash away your work-study money so you can do the truly local thing: ski in the morning, 在社区浴池浸泡 万波 下午,吃拉面 Izanami 在圣达菲看日落的时候, then head back down to campus for some great books and great conversation on your best friend’s balcony.
每年,澳门金沙网赌登陆大学滑雪俱乐部邀请所有学生加入, offering small subsidies to students as well as transportation up the mountain. 对于预算有限的学生, we recommend getting a season pass early and purchasing your own used equipment at the Santa Fe Ski Swap or online. 在你一次性投资设备之后, 你只需要支付一张通行证的年费, which tends to be very affordable in our region (approximately $300). Common basins visited by Johnnies include 圣达菲滑雪盆地, the world-class 陶斯滑雪谷距离这里只有90分钟的路程 Wolf Creek 科罗拉多的盆地,以及其他当地的盆地,比如 Pajarito and Sipapu.

马+马鞍
骑上落基山脉开阔的山脉.
There are few places left in America where one can jump on a horse and ride for days without roads, fences, or restrictive laws to put an end to your adventure—let alone see wild horses wandering the range. 新墨西哥就是这些罕见的地方之一. (有趣的事实:圣. John’s College used to have our own horse stables right on campus!)
备好鞍,出发去开阔的牧场, 沿着峡谷小径, 穿过国家森林, 在小溪, 日出或日落的时候, request that a trip be planned through our Outdoor Program and Student Activities Office or contact one of the many horseback riding outfitters in our regions, such as 红马骑术公司 and 山猫通行证荒野探险.
Better yet, befriend one of the many locals living in the rural communities immediately outside of Santa Fe. There’s a good chance you can find a new friend who would love to take you out on a ride.
水+桨
将格兰德河划入800英尺高的峡谷.
