Great scenery and a welcome chance to get a little exercise outdoors await you when you visit the Arroyo de los Chamisos Trail. This trail winds through the southwestern part of Santa Fe. The 2.5 mile paved path follows a chamisa-lined arroyo and offers spectacular mountain views. So whether you want to walk or ride your bike, this is the trail to take. Also, dogs are allowed but must be on their leashes at all times.

That elusive trout won't be that difficult to find on the end of your line when you head out on a recreational fishing excursion with the pros from The Reel Life. Trout are plentiful in the Rio Chama, northwest of Santa Fe, and the pros from Reel Life will direct you to the best spots for an awesome catch. You can also arrange a day trip to nearby waters for more excellent fishing.
