Two slower outdoor experiences: hot air balloons and the Pecos River.

Two outdoor experiences that aren't hikes but earn the morning anyway.

Hot air ballooning is a short drive from town and one of the iconic ways to see northern New Mexico from above. Worth the early wake-up call.

Fly fishing on the Pecos River, just 30 minutes outside Santa Fe, offers excellent fly-fishing opportunities in a tranquil setting. Whether you're an experienced angler or a first-timer, it's a peaceful day fishing in one of Northern New Mexico's most scenic waterways.
