Ep. 233: New Mexico’s Turquoise Trail | RV travel camping

New Mexico's capital city of Santa Fe is a charming town with a distinct influence from its Spanish heritage. We've visited Santa Fe before, so we want to see and film something new to us to share with you on this episode of Grand Adventure. The Turquoise Trail is a National Scenic Byway that extends southward from Santa Fe along New Mexico State Road 14 to the east side of Sandia Peak, where it turns northwestward to return to Interstate 25 via the Sandia Crest Scenic Byway. Several small towns along the route, including Los Cerillos, Madrid and Golden, retain and preserve the area's unique history. We'll travel and explore the Turquoise Trail, and also venture into Santa Fe to see the San Miguel Chapel, the oldest church in the continental United States.

Filmed: November 8-11, 2021

ABOUT US

Welcome to Grand Adventure, a YouTube channel that focuses on RV-centric outdoor activities including not only of course camping, but also mountain biking, hiking, kayaking, skiing and more, always filmed in stunning 4K.

We're based in Salt Lake City, Utah during the winter months, and invite you to come along as we travel all around the U.S. My wife Patricia and I, and dog Zoe are avid boondockers, so while you'll occasionally find us in RV parks or even dry campgrounds, we're usually camped in some of the most remote and beautiful spots that you could ever pull a travel trailer into. We've now transitioned from "long-timing" for six months a year, to living and traveling in our RV full-time.

We'll provide beautiful travel videos, as well as some tips and insight on trip planning, and equipping and maintaining your RV to make your next adventure a grand one indeed! So, subscribe to make sure that you catch every episode, and remember...life is nothing but a Grand Adventure!

Grand Adventure is the creative video outlet for Marc Guido, a 50-something outdoors enthusiast who first added an RV to his gear bag in spring 2017. Outside of ski season he travels the U.S. in his fifth wheel RV trailer with his lovely wife Patricia, and their overly-caffeinated Labrador retriever Zoe. During winter, they base their RV in Salt Lake City for the skiing.
