Hyde Memorial State Park

Hyde Memorial State Park's Historic Lodge sits in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains eight miles northeast of Santa Fe, encircled by evergreens and aspens at elevations between 8,300 and 9,400 feet. Built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s, the lodge brings a high-mountain character to weddings, graduation parties, and family reunions from May through October. The Main Hall offers 1,300 square feet of interior space warmed by three indoor fireplaces, while a 3,000-square-foot exterior patio and a 600-square-foot covered portal extend the event footprint into the surrounding forest. The lodge accommodates up to 185 guests indoors, with a combined indoor and outdoor capacity of 300. Rentals include 120 chairs, 27 tables in rounds and rectangles, men's and women's restrooms, and handicapped parking.
