Small-Group E-Bike Adventure Tour through Hidden Santa Fe
Description
E-Bikes are what defines F-U-N! They have an integrated motor that offers riders a pedal assist option to give a little extra boost when needed. They are a workout with a little less work. Pedal assist removes the challenge of biking in high elevation and climbing hills, so riders can just enjoy the journey. E-Bikes are a one-size-fits-all option for biking tours giving multigenerational families and groups of varying physical abilities the chance to ride together, unveiling a whole new lens on travel. Try one of our crafted city tours where you will explore the lesser known corners of Santa Fe, diving deep into the culture and scenery. Our Inspired Guide will lead you as you tour the neighborhoods and wooded areas that serve as the foundation of the culture and history that created these unique and enchanting cities. Let our guides be in charge of the navigation and bring your tour to life with insider stories and tips!

Itinerary
A 25-foot-tall reinforced concrete cross sits on top of Paseo de la Loma Hill in Fort Marcy Park and commemorates the 21 Franciscan priests and many more Spanish colonists who died during the Pueblo revolt of 1680. Easily accessible via a gently sloping staircase that starts on the eastern corner of Paseo de Peralta, the summit provides both a close-up of the adobe walls and giant cottonwood trees of downtown Santa Fe and giant vistas of the Jemez Mountains in the west beyond.
Explore above Upper Canyon Road on this short gravel entrance to the Audubon Center. The property was part of the Talaya Hill grant given in 1731 lo Manuel Trujillo. Far from the Plaza in Spanish days, it was used only for grazing and woodcutting until the first sawmill in Santa Fe was built there by the U.S. army quartermaster in 1847 to provide lumber for Fort Marcy, then under construction. The main house still shows the stone walls and huge, hand-hewn timbers of the mill on the interior, carefully preserved by the late owner, Randall Davey, an artist of international reputation.
The Santa Fe River is a tributary of the Rio Grande in northern New Mexico. It starts in the Sangre de Cristo mountain range and passes through the state capital and spills into the Rio Grande River.
Cruise through the Railyard District, a 50-acre arts district. When the City of Santa Fe purchased 50 acres of underused land along Guadalupe Street and Cerrillos Road and further south near Baca Street, its citizens came together to plan the future of the Railyard and decided on developing a vibrant new urban space that would serve all Santa Feans, celebrating their history, arts, recreation, landscape and environment.
Frenchy’s Field Park Labyrinth was created in 2001. The project was sponsored by the Santa Fe Interfaith Council in 1998, and led by community organizer Michael Hopp and his team of artisans. This 7-circuit Classical labyrinth is made of a modified adobe mix, called “cobb.” The mounds are molded with clay-rich soil, straw, and water. This labyrinth needs to be maintained on an annual basis, a process called “mudding.”
Founded in 1975 by the Kirkpatrick family, the Inn and Spa at Loretto sits on the former site of the historic Our Lady of Loretto Academy and is adjacent to the famed Loretto Chapel featuring the miraculous staircase. Now one of the most photographed buildings in the state, the Inn is a Santa Fe icon and testament to the city's modern history. From its beginnings as a unique adobe style Best Western to the property it is today, the Inn remains true to its roots - imparting casual sophistication with sincere Southwest hospitality and authentic Santa Fe style.

Great way to get an overview of the city. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. Bikes were easy to use. Excellent instructions and attention to safety

My husband and I are from Oklahoma and we love going on tours in new states and countries when we visit to learn about history to feel more immersed in our travel experience! While this is the most expensive tour I have been on, it was memorable, fun, and I would recommend it! Linda was our tour guide, and she was phenomenal! She made us feel very comfortable and safe before heading out on our 3.5 hr trek around Santa Fe. She was personable, friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging. The tour does a great job at stopping at places in shade for a bit of rest, hydration, and history. I am not the most coordinated or “athletic” person, but the e-bike made the experience easy! Thanks to Linda and Heritage Inspirations!

Our guide Courtney was fabulous! She was very knowledgeable and the tour was just what we wanted. We were able to see the city and some of the ourskirts and trails too.
