GENERAL INFO

Location: Santa Fe, NM. The place we call Santa Fe is recognized and known as Oga Po’geh, meaning White Shell Water Place. This is the land of the Northern and Southern Tewa (often identified as Tanos). We recognize that this land is one piece of a larger, boundless terrain for Indigenous peoples: the Nambe Pueblo; the Tewa; and the Jicarilla Apache, the Diné (Navajo), Cochiti, Taos, and Hopi Pueblos.
Parking: Free parking lot at the event site.
Pets: While we love pets, we ask that furry friends who are not service animals stay at home for this event. Tell them we said hi!
Meet: August 24, 2025
Cost:
This event is completely free to access - burritos included!  We welcome donations of any amount, which help us continue to provide these programs.  We appreciate your support and your contribution!

COVID SAFETY

Masks are not required during this event, however they are welcomed if wearing one allows you to better engage with the group. PLEASE be mindful of your own and group safety. If you or anyone in your household are not feeling well, do not participate in a hike.

  • Information for our land acknowledgment was gathered from nativeland.ca, which provides an estimate of original indigenous land occupation, but does not take into account migratory patterns or movement of the many surrounding communities. We recognize the historical complexity of indigenous movement across the land, and honor with gratitude the many, many surviving native nations whose land we benefit from in our work to diversify the outdoors.

  • Our sliding scale is meant to make our trips and events more accessible for those who have financial barriers. Paying a higher amount allows us to provide more opportunities to others. Paying a smaller amount is recommended for those who would not otherwise be able to afford the estimated value. Please choose an amount that you will be able to pay, but will not hinder your ability to afford food, housing, etc. By paying as much as you can, we are able to serve more of our community members.

    Our sliding scale recommendation:

    - Low: Yearly income $30,000 or under, struggles to meet basic needs

    - Mid (pays estimated value): Yearly income $40,000-$75,000, some expendable income

    - High: Yearly income $80,000-$100,000, comfortable, never struggle with basic needs
