My boyfriend and I just finished our 2nd snowshoeing trip with Jon from Outspire. Great trip, beautiful snow and good company. We have really enjoyed both of our outings. This is a great company from booking with Karen, our outing with Jon and the follow up after the trip with Karen. They provide all the equipment, snacks and water. They... More

Karen was extremely responsive and friendly in every interaction. She assigned us a guide that was highly skilled, fun and accountable. She arrived at our hotel early to pick us up, maneuvered though the mountains with care (on and off the road) and was a delight to be around. I would highly recommend working with Karen --the owner--and her guides... More

We had a wonderful afternoon snowshoeing adventure guided by Karen. She was a delightful guide. Very informative about the environment and a pleasure to talk with while we were on the trail. She was also very conscientious about being sure we were not having any difficulties acclimating to the altitude while hiking. We were picked up at our hotel in... More

We told Karen we were avid hikers but hadn't hiked in months. We told her we wanted scenic but to also learn about where we were and some context. Karen exceeded our expectations; she brought us on a very scenic hike with almost 360 degree views, all while providing us insight into the geography, geology, history, mineralogy, and local perspective....

Karen from Outspiring was very good about picking a hike that fit our situation since it was winter and I was 4 months pregnant. She picked us up at our hotel in Santa Fe and had all the equipment we would need, plus snacks and water. We hiked a mesa in Santa Fe for about 4 hours and asked a... More

We booked an early December snowshoeing trip. The trails were a little thin on snow - but that is to be expected in early December. This was our groups' first snowshoe adventure - the guide made it very enjoyable and gave a good explanation of what to expect. One of the best things was not having to worry about all... More

This was my first trip to Santa Fe and since I didn't have a lot of time, I chose to take a hike with Outspire. Shirley was my guide and the hike more than met my expectations. The hike was challenging but relaxed; Shirley was so easy to talk to; the weather was perfect, and we even saw a golden... More

A day spent with Karen was fabulous. She is very knowledgeable about the geology, wildlife and history in the Santa Fe area ... fun to talk to and to spend time with. (She even had some very good hiking tips.) For a really great visit don't miss this one! More
