Why this plan works
The 3 stops cover about 0.6 miles total, which keeps you in one pocket of Santa Fe instead of crossing town between them. Georgia O'Keeffe Museum is the main event and takes the biggest block of time; the other stops are built around it. It finishes at Cowgirl — a short, low-effort stop you can skip if you're ready to call it. Best suited to couples, friends, and solo who want a planned Santa Fe outing without improvising between stops.
