Start your day in Santa Fe with a morning bike tour. Ecomotive Electric Bike Shop offers guided tours of the city. The Coffee and Birds tour begins with a cup of coffee and a leisurely ride to the Randall Davey Audubon Center & Sanctuary. Perfect for beginners, this tour costs $30 for two people.

 

Now that you’ve worked up an appetite, swing by Harry’s Roadhouse for regional breakfast fare. Featured on the Food Network, the quirky café is open daily and boasts vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. The breakfast menu has items for every taste, including bagels with smoked salmon and cream cheese, traditional Mexican chilaquiles, blue-cornmeal waffles, homemade granola and daily specials. Wash your meal down with a glass of fresh-squeezed juice for $12–14 total.
