Adventure lovers and artist types- This is the perfect nature adventure on the lower banks of the Rio Grande between Taos and Santa Fe on the Orilla Verde. Its more remote, and there is a lot of space to yourself.

End with a swim in the Rio Grande, if you like, at a secret spot! Tara, your hunt master will also design a special custom clue for groups of over 4.
