Bike The Rail Trail to Lamy | Privately Guided

The Rail Trail Bike Ride is perfect for beginners, visitors acclimating to Santa Fe’s altitude, and families with younger children. Starting just south of Santa Fe, this bike trail follows the historic rail spur to the town of Lamy, an 18-mile spur that opened in February 1880 and connected Santa Fe to the AT&SF’s (now Amtrak) Chicago to Los Angeles cross country route. The Rail Trail offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains – the Sangre de Cristo, the Sandias, and the Jemez Mountains. We love this trail year-round; however, it is particularly lovely in the Fall when the asters and sunflowers are in bloom.
  • 4 Hours | 8-10 Miles

  • Easygoing; great for families and beginners


Moderate to Challenging Adventures | Privately Guided

Glorieta Mesa High Desert Trail

Located to the southeast of Santa Fe, Glorieta Mesa is studded with farms set amid gently rolling hills and open spaces. The high desert trail is approximately 10 miles round trip with expansive views to the north of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
  • 4 hours
  • Easygoing to moderate

Santa Fe E-Bike Tours

Santa Fe is known for its beautiful climate and glistens in the sun on average 325 days a year. Located in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Santa Fe is the highest capital city in the US, sitting at an elevation of 7,199 feet above sea level. The elevation may seem like a challenge to travelers visiting from lower elevations, but we have created a way for all of our guests to climb into the foothills of the mountains by embarking on a half-day E-Bike tour through Santa Fe.
  • 3-4 hours
  • Easygoing to moderate; some elevation

High Alpine Bike Ride

A challenging high alpine bike ride, the beginning of the trailhead is located at an altitude of 10,000 feet. Ride the Aspen Vista Trail to the top of Tesuque Peak (12,045 feet) - a strenuous and long climb, 6 miles up; it't not for the faint of heart. The views, however, are spectacular and it's a particularly beautiful ride in the autumn when the aspens are changing color.
  • 4 hours
  • Easygoing to moderate

Rio Chama

Starting near the village of Abiquiu, this bike ride takes you along the Rio Chama. It is a wonderful excursion for those wanting a scenic and idyllic mountain bike ride in O'Keefe Country. Stop for lunch along the river, or for a bit more of a challenge, ride up to the Abiquiu Dam.
  • 6-8 hours

  • Easygoing with challenging climb up to the dam
