The Rio Grande Adventurer

Overview

Please note that Viator( whos reps have never done this activity) wrote the OVERVIEW description that calls this both a tour and scavenger hunt and says i'll be explaining the ecosystem on the river.
Unfortunately these inaccuracies are not easy for a suppiler to change.

This is a great activity for the right people and I dont wish to mislead anyone.
I host and interact with my guests on Whats App.
Its not a guided hiking tour.
I am a scavenger hunt host and have hunts in both Taos and Santa Fe. This isnt really a scavenger hunt. Its much slower paced, creative and is more about connecting with the land. There are creative exercises.
I do give you interesting background on the area but i am not a biologist who is qualified to explain the eco system of the river.
if you play this solo, I am happy to host you but know that i cannot provide you with a group to play with. id say a degree of being comfortable alone on hiking trails is essential if you book solo.

Loved chatting with Arthur about art and life and seeing his work. We probably would not have found that gorgeous hike on our own.

Tara’s personalized expedition for our family went well beyond our expectations! We were seeking to recharge and reconnect, and explore Taos nature in a unique way off the beaten path. Tara’s well thought out plan for us definitely did the trick! With her local connections, we were able to experience some beautiful private areas along the river owned by a wonderful artist couple who allowed us to explore on our own as long as we wanted. The hiking trails were also amazing and different from the norm. You can go a short distance or longer—whatever you’re up for. The mission was full of diverse activities that suit any personality, and you can choose as little or as much as you want. This experience was absolutely perfect and got our vacation off to a great start! Thank you, Tara!!!

Thank you for your kind words and recognition that this is a different type of hosting and experience but that it is great for the right people who dont require an in person guide. I think in your case it was more peaceful and bonding just to have your group decompress and enjoy the magic without a chattering guide dominating the conversation. Thank you again for being open to something new and different. and A and D just loved the chocolate.,

A very fun creative and physical activity. We spent 45 minutes to an hour visiting with Arthur Glenhill studio and explored the artwork on the grounds of the banks of the Rio Grande. We also viewed the artwork in his house, chatted with his lovely wife Diane and completed our creative missions assigned by Tara. We then headed off to our hike, it was a hike of moderate difficulty, 4 miles, nice views above the river, watch the cactus, and the temps. If it’s going to be hot, go earlier in the morning but know that that times are flexible. Great time!
