Ah yes, I'd forgotten about those. My mom is in Santa Fe, and there is a great view of the mountains from the hot tub on the back porch, especially at night when all you see is sand, steam, and stars. Bootiful!

Outside of the places already mentioned. I'm a big fan of Mammoth, CA personally which leads right into Yosemite of course. Though my back yard of Lake Tahoe is nice as well.

I was going to mention Mammoth too. You can go spend a day in Toulumene Meadows, think almost arctic tundra, and be back in time for dinner. You can take the gondola to the top of the mountain, and just hike around at I believe around 12,000 feet. The Devil's Postpile is another very cool day trip. If your there, you might as well see Mono Lake, and the tufa towers.

There are also many natural hot springs. Nothing feels better after a long hike than soaking in a hot spring with a cold beer. The fly fishing for trout can be incredible. I always try and get up very early, so I can get a few fish, and be back before anyone wakes up. Mammoth is definitely one of my favorite places.
