what is the altitude of santa fe new mexico
Santa Fe, New Mexico Santa Fe is located at 7,199 feet (2,194Â m) above sea level, making it the highest state capital in the United States.[1]
Mount Taylor (New Mexico) Mount Taylor was active from 3.3 to 1.5 million years ago[7] during the Pliocene, and is surrounded by a field of smaller inactive volcanoes. Repeated eruptions built lava domes and produced lava flows, ash plumes, and mudflows. The mountain is surrounded by a great volume of volcanic debris, suggesting multiple major eruptions, possibly similar to that of Mount Saint Helens and the San Francisco Peaks near Flagstaff, Arizona.[8] Estimates vary about how high the mountain was at its highest. Conservative estimates place its maximum near a similar pre-explosion height for the San Francisco Peaks of 16,000 to 18,000 feet (4,900 to 5,500 m), and an extreme estimate places it near 25,000 feet (7,600 m).
