Scott was our guide as we hiked Tsankawi Prehistoric sites, Bandelier National Monument in Santa Fe, July 2021. Our group was made up of 6 women, all in our mid-50s. We thoroughly enjoyed the hike and all the education Scott offered with his expansive archeological knowledge. Scott is a considerate gentleman, and took his time to share, explore, explain and answer our questions. He was great at communicating about our departure place and time and he even went the extra mile to take us to an overlook after our hike so we could see the Rio Grande! Our delicious lunch at The Pig & The Fig was also his recommendation! Highly recommend Scott!

You all are very kind! I'm glad you enjoyed our morning out on Tsankawi Mesa and I appreciate your feedback. And I'm glad you enjoyed lunch later.

Scott was a wonderful tour guide. Was unsure about the necessity of a guide when hiking on a well marked trail but so happy we did. Scott picked us up and taught us so much about the topography, history, Pueblo culture, the Manhattan project and basically any other question that popped into my very inquisitive head. It was such a luxury having a guide figure everything out and scott was prepared and lovely
Really enjoyed our morning and Will recommend to anyone who asks

It was a pleasure taking you and your daughter to Frijoles Canyon, and I appreciate you taking time to write a review for me. I hope to see you both again sometime.

Scott was awesome! He was our guide as we hiked Tsankawi Prehistoric sites, Bandelier National Monument in Santa Fe, July 2021. Scott customized our time together to our pace, our levels and interests. His comprehensive knowledge of the natural history of New Mexico made our hike as informative as they were scenic. We highly recommend hiring Scott if you want to truly understand more about New Mexico's heritage while enjoying incredible hikes!

Scott was such a professional with whom to work. He was responsive at every level, asked us about what we wanted to do/see/touch, and created the perfect geologic hike for us. The entire time, we didn't see another soul. The trip was organized and fascinating. We learned about the geology of the area, in addition to various flora, fauna and history. We thought it was a great way to spend the day. In addition, we told him our other ideas we were thinking about doing, and he gave us great advice. We'd highly recommend Scott for anyone wanting to do something different in Santa Fe.

Former great hikers, now seniors and a little slow on the go, had a terrific day with Scott who took us to Tsankawi in Bandelier National Monument, and then spontaneously to a fabulous outlook and a quick side trip to Los Alamos. Scott was hugely patient with our hiking limitations. We felt we didn't miss a thing! Scott is very knowledgeable about the geology and human culture. His explanations flow so easily as conversation; there is no sense of being lectured to. Well worth every penny. I'm sure he's a champion for very experienced hikers, but lucky for us, he could make a fabulous day out of slow and easy.

Thank you both so much! (Trip Advisor has stopped sending me alerts so I miss things occasionally). I loved all your questions and you were good sports about the passing rain shower! Hope to see you again.

Knowledgeable and friendly guide who gave me a personalized experience I could have never had alone. We went to Bandelier National Monument. He is so gifted in his ability to make youth both feel welcome and to guide back in time. He is simply wonderful!

This was our second snow shoeing trip with outspire . Scott is exceptionally knowledgeable about snow shoeing in the Santa Fe mountains . We had a excellent day . I highly recommend if this is your very first time or if you are experienced but would like a guide to navigate safely. He provided snacks , drinks and warm Apple cider when we were done . If you have a few hours and want to get out in the mountains we highly recommend Outspire .

WOW, what a magical trip this was! Our first time snowshoeing and couldn’t have done it without Scott. His patience, preparation, and knowledge, coupled with the natural beauty lead us to know this will be the first of many more trips to Santa Fe. Can’t wait to see you again in early Fall!

Thank you both! I appreciated your enthusiasm for the natural world and all those questions. And thanks again for being my first geology-walker. That morning was very useful to me for finding a focus for the walk.

Scott was an incredible guide! He was attentive to the variety of fitness levels of our group of six as we had one participant with a recent ankle injury. He shared interesting facts about the pueblo dwellings, history and pointed out numerous key areas of interest along the way. His recommendation for lunch was delicious and also added an extra stop to visit the Rio Grande overlook. If you ae visiting Santa Fe and looking for a hiking guide Scott is the perfect person. Thank you for a great morning Scott!
