Outdoors, Trails & Wellness

Morning

Start the day on the Dale Ball Trails, just minutes from downtown, where groups can get outside, take in the scenery and see Santa Fe from a completely new perspective.

Afternoon

Travel to Bandelier National Monument to experience canyon landscapes, ancestral Pueblo sites and centuries of human history within a setting that makes for a memorable group excursion beyond the city.

Evening

Wind down with a restorative spa experience, where tranquil surroundings and soothing treatments offer a calming way to close out three days of meetings, exploration and connection in Santa Fe.

Planner Tip: Day three takes groups farther beyond the city, so a little advance planning goes a long way. Consult the Santa Fe Meeting Planner Guide for transportation considerations, timing and additional outdoor experiences.
