Explore the story of businessman Dale Ball's founding of the Santa Fe Conservation Trust, resulting in the creation of the iconic Dale Ball trails in Santa Fe. Discover how Ball's dedication and meticulous planning led to the development of a 25-mile network of user-friendly public trails, bringing people closer to nature.

Roman Mars is on a mission to describe the cities that shaped who he is and how he thinks about design. Next up, Santa Fe.

Santa Fe wasn’t always on the proverbial map — in fact, the Santa Fe railroad just passed it on by. A lot of care has been taken to keep Santa Fe cute and quaint over its history, with steps to preserve native architecture and historical design. The result is a mixture of structures old and new, but mostly made to look old, for better or worse.
