Send your professionals over to the US to oversee brand new multi-billion dollar investments and watch them, and your company, get harassed by ICE to keep the headlines off of Epstein and off of another stinky jobs report. Maybe they'll pick up some "undocumented" Germans in Spartanburg next.
I wonder if the acting head of the BLS, a career labor department employee, will now be summarily hanged for overseeing the bad jobs report.
You asked about riding. Yes, there are a number of places in and around town that lead guided rides.
Here's one at a prominent resort just north of town (Bishop's Lodge)
But the grandkid wouldn't be allowed to ride. The minimum age is 8.
BTW, the grandkid is the proverbial fly in the ointment. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with grandkids! But having a four year old in tow might really shift the things you can do, or that you're willing to do. Santa Fe has some kid attractions ... a kid's museum for instance ... https://santafechildrensmuseum.org
But then you're spending your day at a children's museum instead of hiking up to Picacho peak or exploring the Georgia O'Keefe museum. Are you planning to take the tyke hiking with you? Then you're probably done when they poop out, which might be long before you want to, and long before you get to what you actually want to see and do out in nature. Would you have to plan your dinners out based on the tastes and attention span of a four year old? Could be a problem.
Spoken by someone who has had to deal with the forcefulness of three to eight year old grandkids who occasionally don't want to do what the adults plan to do.
It's not the world's most children-oriented tourist destination. I think of Santa Fe as an adult playground.
@Bernard said in Ugh. Accident.:
I just talked to the towing guy and he feels pretty sure it's totalled. Ugh.
Given your description of the accident, it's hard to imagine that the car would NOT be totaled. You're describing an impact that likely messed up the chassis.
They'll give you the bluebook value of the car (or some other similar estimate), which is a pain. But that's often better than repairing a car, especially a nice one, because most insurers (State Farm, Geico, and so on) are unlikely to allow you to use OEM parts. For that, you would have to have used a costly insurer like Chubb. Most insurers will require the body shop to use parts made by "Richard's auto parts" in some basement in Akron that do the job but are usually nowhere near the quality of OEM parts.
One more suggestion. If you like chocolate ... most people do ...
Kakawa: https://kakawachocolates.com
Their main location is within walking distance of the plaza, and fairly close to the start of Canyon Road.
I don't know your budget, but some of the places that Casas de Sante Fe rents out do have pools and hot tubs. They're more expensive though.
We have tons of craft breweries in the area and brew pubs for each.
New Mexico does have wineries. Most are decent, but not great. Two that stand out (I think).
Gruet: https://www.gruetwinery.com
We used to be in their champagne club but pulled out after Laurent Gruet severed his connection. They have gone toward sweeter stuff now, but a few of their 100% New Mexican grapes vintage bubblies are still very good. They have a tasting room in Santa Fe at the St. Francis hotel ... which also has a great "farm to table" bar inside called Secreto. Ah, their smoked sage margaritas!
Another is Vara: https://varawines.com
They too have a tasting room in Santa Fe. And that's where Laurent Gruet now hangs out, making his Vara/LG line.
There is a wonderful resort (with full spa and excellent restaurant named Campo) down in Albuquerque named Los Poblanos. Worth a trip. It's an organic lavender farm as well. They also make spirits, which you can try at THEIR tasting room in Santa Fe! Getting a theme here? 
A small sample of our favorite restaurants includes:
Geronimo (often the #1 rated place). They have a vegetarian tasting menu. Alas, I don't think it's vegan.
The Compound (like Geronimo, on Canyon Road which is full of galleries).
Coyote Cafe, and its rooftop (less formal) cantina. Reservations for the former, but none for the latter.
The Shed (on Palace Avenue). Modestly priced, touristy but fun.
Sazon. Very high end Mexican inspired but not like any Mexican we're usually used to.
Jambo. Afro-Caribbean. Not in downtown. More in the strip mall part of town
Paloma. Good New Mexican and modestly priced. In the rail yard district off of Guadelupe.
Izanami!!! I put the exclamation marks there. It's sort of my neighborhood's restaurant. Off of the access road to the ski area. Japanese izakaya-style (small plates). If I'm in NM for two weeks, I'll go there at least twice. It's part of a larger complex called Ten Thousand Waves, which is one of the best spa complexes in the US. Izanimi isn't cheap, but it's also not exorbitant. The spa is high priced, but we think it's worth a splurge. You soak in the grand bath before massage, and use the sauna and bath afterward. It's your afternoon.
This is the company that represents our house when we're not in it. Something from them might be a good alternative to a hotel in the downtown area. They have a lot of nice properties in good locales near or in the city.

Need more about your group's tastes to go into much detail. There are excellent restaurants at a wide range of prices ... few that have prices that would make a big city dweller blanche, however.
Do you like to hike? Amazing set of options. Happy to chat.
Here's one you have to book in advance ... Kasha Katuwe (Tent Rocks)
Santa Fe has a huge trail network (Dale Ball Trails) right close by to explore:
https://sfct.org/dale-ball-trails/
Further afield there are many more fabulous sites to visit:

https://www.nps.gov/vall/index.htm

https://www.ghostranch.org
https://www.puebloofacoma.org
https://taospueblo.com
And if you do make the trip up to Taos, it's incomplete without a visit to the Rio Grande Gorge bridge.
Art galleries and museums (contemporary to traditional native arts) are all over the place in the downtown and rail yard areas. And then there is Museum Hill.
@Mik said in Let’s talk hoses:
I am in love with the stainless steel hose I installed last year. Never ever kinks or leaks, lightweight and rolls up like a dream.

Thanks for the recommendation. I need a new hose ..... always kinked.
I would laugh if the dining establishment of poor white southern folk went belly up because of Trump.
Ax, that story is SOOOOO yesterday ...
it's available in NM now. See my post three posts up. 
This is all part of the "soft secession" process. It's just a bit more organized than one-issue challenges to this or that federal policy. Blue states are indeed coordinating resistance to federal rules and requirements in ways that challenge the idea of a long-lasting political union. We will be in the end-stage of that process when wealthier states find ways to stop sending revenues to the poorer red states that fleece them.
Many states are in the process of delinking from CDC panels and doing approvals on their own. This is because some pharmacies (like CVS) are unwilling to provide vaccines in their states because they believe existing state policy mandates CDC approval.
New Mexico for instance:

This ruling came out a day after I told Governor Grisham (on her BlueSky account) to do precisely this. Must have been my forceful note! 
@jon-nyc said in Universal Cancer Vaccine:
We solve cardiovascular disease and cancer that means everyone who doesn’t get hit by a bus dies of dementia.
Until we solve that ...
Unless the GOP keeps us stupid.
https://mezha.net/eng/bukvy/acog-endorses-covid-19-vaccination-during-pregnancy-despite-cdc-changes/
ACOG refuses to follow the new (Kennedy mandated) CDC guidelines on vaccination. Kennedy threatens "liability" against doctors who follow their professional society's guidelines over the CDC's politicized rules.
Just saw this while hiking in the Mt. Charleston area of Nevada, at around 7,500 feet.
The Mojave Prickly Poppy.
