Sure, I'd be glad to help you plan your trip to Santa Fe, Taos, and Angel Fire in New Mexico, USA!

Best Time to Visit:
The best time to visit Santa Fe, Taos, and Angel Fire entirely depends on what you want to do. For skiing and winter sports, January to March are the best months. For hiking, biking, and sightseeing, the milder weather in May to September would be best. Fall (September to November) also offers beautiful scenery as the aspen trees change color, particularly in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains around Santa Fe and Taos.

Route and Accessibility:
Santa Fe has its own small airport, the Santa Fe Municipal Airport, but you'll find more flight options and usually cheaper prices through Albuquerque International Sunport, just an hour drive from Santa Fe. The New Mexico Rail Runner express can also take you from Albuquerque to Santa Fe. Angel Fire and Taos are easily accessible by car from Santa Fe or Albuquerque. The Enchanted Circle Scenic Byway links Taos and Angel Fire and is a beautiful drive. It's important to note, especially for winter travel, that mountain passes can sometimes be affected by weather closures.

Accommodation and Booking:
There are plenty of accommodation options in Santa Fe, Taos, and Angel Fire, including boutique hotels, bed and breakfasts, mountain resorts, and vacation rentals. It's recommended to book your accommodations in advance, particularly during peak seasons for both summer and winter activities.

Clothing and Essentials:
You will want to pack layers as the weather can be quite variable, being hot in the day and cool in the evening. For a winter trip, you would want all your normal winter gear: boots, hats, gloves, scarves, and a warm jacket. In the summer, don't forget your hiking boots, sunscreen, hat, and lightweight clothes. An empty water bottle to fill up and stay hydrated is a must in the dry climate. If you are planning on hiking or exploring the outdoors, a map and a first aid kit are also recommended.

Health and Safety:
Key health and safety considerations include sun protection and hydration due to the region's high elevation and dry climate. Be careful with your alcohol intake as it can have a stronger effect at higher altitudes. Hiking in remote areas can also pose risks, so always stick to marked paths, stay updated on weather conditions, and let someone know your plans before you go.

Local Etiquette and Respect:
Santa Fe, Taos, and Angel Fire have a mix of cultures including Native American, Spanish, and Anglo. Respect is very important, particularly when visiting Native American pueblos, where you should ask for permission before taking photographs. Be prepared to slow down your pace and enjoy the relaxed New Mexico way of life.
