Overview

It’s often said Europe has too much history, while America simply has space. Yet, trekking along the Rio Grande and New Mexico’s highest peak, Mount Wheeler brings the vestiges of 700-year old civilizations into sharp relief. In addition to exploring ancient adobe and cliff-dwelling settlements, we drop into Old Spanish colonias, more modern art colonies, and smart mountain resorts.

This area is a confluence of ecological zones: the Great Plains in the East, the Chihuahuan Desert South, and the Colorado Plateau to the West. With that kind of variety, the land is naturally perfect for multi-sport touring: outstanding road cycling and hiking options beckon at each compass point. While the nearby Rio Grande offers excellent whitewater rafting.

Along the way we savor a diverse tapestry of culture, architecture, and art that represent each of the state’s three distinct traditions: Indian, Spanish and Anglo. We can take as much time as we need to drink it all in! While the state bird is the Roadrunner, don’t expect that kind of pacing on this trek.

High Desert to high Alpine, admiring rock paintings and petroglyphs. From squeezing through slot canyons to admiring expansive mesas, our Land of Enchantment trip truly has something for everyone.

Day 1-2: Meet-up in Santa Fe. Shuttle to the village of Vadito. At 7400-ft, we ride the High Road Scenic Byway. Our tempo allows us to truly revel in the winding road through the Sangre de Cristo range, through badlands and wind-etched hoodoos. Arriving in Taos, we visit frontiersman Kit Carson’s home, as well as the unique shops and smart galleries that line the historic town center. The following day, raft the mighty Rio Grande through the Box – a scenic, deep cut canyon in the vast New Mexico desert.

Day 3-4: Departing Taos, we ride southwest towards the settlement of Pilar: an old Hispanic pueblo and camp for Jicarilla Apache. Cross the Rio Grande before turning into the Rio Grand Gorge. Inside the gorge we trend north through the National forest to Ojo Caliente mineral springs – our residence for the next two nights. Ride to Ghost Ranch. A 21,000-acre retreat/fine arts campus amidst soaring red cliffs, Ghost Ranch was originally part of a 1766 land grant to Pedro Martin Serrano from the King of Spain. The grant was initially called Piedra Lumbre (shining rock). The subsequent Ghost Ranch designation or the more local Rancho de los Brujos owes to persistent paranormal activity plus accounts of hangings throughout the Ranch’s history. A hike to Ghost Ranch crowns our afternoon followed with a shuttle back to our base at the Ojo Caliente hot springs.

Day 5-6: Trek to the Tsankawi Ruins: an isolated-detached section of 33,677-acre Bandelier National Monument. After exploring the ruins, an ancestral Pueblo site/archeological preserve we saddle up. Pedaling 11-miles through the town of White Rock, then into the main section of Bandelier, we stop for lunch in the canyon, lorded over by soaring cliffs and mesas. After lunch we hike along the river, through the impressively preserved ruins. After a stop in the visitors’ center we commence our day with a short stop in Chimayo’s historic Church and a shuttle to Santa Fe. Our last day, stroll through Santa Fe Plaza or join a finale ride down Artist Drive from the top of Aspen Basin Ski Area.

Escape Adventures operates under a special use permit on the Carson National Forest. Escape Adventures is an equal opportunity provider.

Nights 1 & 2: The Historic Taos Inn | Taos, NM

A legend throughout New Mexico, the Historic Taos Inn delights guests with its quirky, quintessential Southwestern style. Long considered “the social center of Taos,” this award-winning inn in the heart of town’s charming historic district has been called “one of America’s great inns” by National Geographic Traveler. From its adobe-style architecture to its warm embrace of New Mexico’s storied community of artists, this much-loved retreat exudes the rich heritage of old-world New Mexico. Whether they’re sipping margaritas, listening to a live band in the Adobe Bar or building a fire in their in-room Kiva fireplace, guests of this Taos’ treasure are immersed in the rustic romance of a bygone era.

“The Taos Inn was such a quaint and great experience. The staff is so friendly and helpful. We had a little table and chairs outside our room to enjoy a drink and had delicious coffee in the morning there too. Our bed was super comfortable and my shower was nice and hot.”

Nights 3 & 4: Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort & Spa | Ojo Caliente, NM

Charming rooms with either double or queen beds are available in the hotel, and include half bathrooms (without showers), as all bathing has been done in the bathhouses for more than a hundred years.

“The springs are Ojo Caliente are wonderful, healing, and somewhat magical. Nothing better than soaking in hot mineral waters under a blue New Mexico sky. Stay over if you can, and make sure you eat in the restaurant, food is well-prepared and delicious. I’ve been several times and can’t wait to go back. If you get tired of soaking there are several trails on the property to explore.”

Very clean, very quiet, within easy walking distance of the Plaza. The breakfast is outstanding! A plethora of pastries, scrambled eggs with chiles or without, housemade salsa, green chile sauce, bacon, ham and sausage, toasts, fresh fruit, coffee, juices.”
-Douglas M.

First-Class Camping Tours

The food tastes better, the sky is certainly bigger, and your mind is clearer.

There is nothing better than rolling into camp to fresh made chips and salsa, homemade guacamole, and Dutch oven enchiladas. Then making your way to a sweet and inviting campfire, sharing your favorite anecdote or image from the day’s activities while marshmallows roast. Enjoy a small-batch, local beer before retiring to your tent. Inside: a sturdy raised cot, fluffy sleeping bag, and a plush full size pillow. Wow. You earned this. Sweet dreams.

We choose well-maintained public campgrounds with scenic vistas and comfortable arrangements. You’ll move seamlessly from one day of your trip to the next, camping outdoors and enjoying wildly healthy, delicious homemade meals.

The majority of our selected campgrounds feature indoor facilities and showers. Conversely, in more remote backcountry camping scenarios, we’ll provide portable toilets and private solar showers.

Camping gear may be rented or you may bring your own. All of our camping gear is tested and hand-chosen from top manufacturers to ensure you get a good nights’ sleep. Our camp gear package includes a tent, sleeping pad, raised cot, sleeping bag, sleeping bag liner, full size pillow, and ground tarp.

Our Commitment to the Environment

Our environmental commitment is second to none. We run our tours the same way we run our company, with an eye on the triple bottom line: People, Profit & Planet. At Escape Adventures, we elected to pursue a more comprehensive approach to actually reduce our carbon footprint, rather than just offset it. We overhauled our entire operation — from our vehicles, to our buildings, to our procedures — to become an outdoor industry leader in the charge to help our people and our planet.

Leading tours naturally followed from our passion of exploring our favorite places with our friends.

The Best Support Vehicles

Having custom-made vehicles allows us to take you to places few other outfitters can, or will go. Every Escape Adventures tour is accompanied by at least one support vehicle, trailer, and in some cases a second and third transfer van. As you thumb through our catalog, you will also notice our vehicles are big, tough, and different. These are not stock vehicles. After purchase, we custom engineer our trucks, vans, and trailers by our on-staff mechanic to meet the unique needs of different tours. Each of our guides is required to be trained in safe vehicle operation, 4X4 driving, and basic maintenance. Our experienced guides make it look easy, transporting you and up to 12 guests, along with their bikes, fresh food, camping gear and plenty of drinking water to a remote location.

Our food isn’t just good, it’s good for you.

Food represents a big part of the Escape Adventures experience. Our guides prepare all of your meals on our camping trips. Expect three delicious meals a day consisting entirely of freshly prepared foods. These include fresh organic fruits and vegetables, as well as meats. We also have energy snacks aboard our support vehicles. Don’t be surprised if your guides purchase fresh fruits and healthy snacks throughout the day while you’re enjoying a ride. They may just show up on the trail with a local treat! An increasing number of our guests are vegans or vegetarians, whom we not only accommodate but also pleasantly surprise. Should you possess special diet requirements and/or limitations, just let us know at sign-up. We’ll work with you to meet those critical needs.
