Rancho Gallina
Imagine waking up to clear country air and heading out the front door for a world-class cycling adventure. On your return, soak blissfully in a hand-built cedar hot tub, then take a walk down Arroyo Gallina, the namesake of this unique inn and “eco-retreat.” Located on a historic ranch south of Santa Fe, Rancho Gallina lies off the Turquoise Trail Scenic Byway, an ancient mining and trading route that leads to the historic mining towns of Cerrillos, Madrid, and Golden.
