Georges and Sue started Santa Fe Walkabouts in 2008, with a desire to show visitors the natural beauty of New Mexico and to share the depth of the state’s history and culture. The first few years were challenging but we persevered and, by 2011, had developed a solid reputation in Santa Fe and on the social media platforms such as TripAdvisor. In November 2015, Santa Fe Walkabouts acquired Santa Fe Mountain Adventures and embarked upon a new phase of the company’s journey. Our plan for Santa Fe Mountain Adventures is to continue sharing the great outdoors with our guests while having fun ourselves. We have a fabulous team of experienced and adventurous outdoor guides along, with a solid and reliable team at the office, who embrace our philosophy – reconnect with nature, do what you love, and live life to the fullest!
Georges Mally, owner and guide, moved to Santa Fe in May 2007 from Paris, France. Georges, who speaks French, Bulgarian, English, and Russian, is an avid outdoors enthusiast and loves hiking, bicycling, and skiing. He has hiked throughout Europe (the Alps and the Balkans) and parts of Asia (Thailand) and Africa (Madagascar); he has also bicycled through much of France. His most recent adventures by bicycle include a trip from Chicago to Los Angeles on the Old Route 66, and a two-week tour of the Four Corners region. Georges loves the mountains of New Mexico as well as its rich cultural heritage and is thrilled at the opportunity to share his passion with fellow hikers.
Sue Mally, co-owner, packed her belongings and headed west to New Mexico from New York in late 2004. She and her two Border Collies, Kip and Derby (who crossed the Rainbow Bridge in 2009 and 2010), spent countless hours exploring the trails around Santa Fe before serendipitously meeting Georges in September, 2006, and jointly deciding to start Santa Fe Walkabouts/Santa Fe Mountain Adventures. Sue is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the company but she occasionally heads out on the shorter trails and scenic tours with clients. She loves the beauty of New Mexico, the brilliant blue skies, and the tranquility of the mountains. She is eager to share her love of the area and looks forward to being able to organize a special day for visitors.
Murjo Mally, Border Collie extraordinaire, is the new mascot for Santa Fe Mountain Adventures. Born in Mora County, New Mexico, he’s a true native who loves working with Georges and Sue and checking out new trails for our clients!
