The Rio Grande Creative MIndfulness Adventure( remotely hosted)
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.

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!!!Salteen

We really enjoyed being out in nature and seeing such a beautiful view from the top of the hills. Tip: If going in the summer go early in the morning so you don’t get too hot. -were a hat, lotion, bring water

My 11-year-old son and I had a wonderful, connective nature experience under Tara’s creative guidance. Off the beaten paths of Taos, and thanks to Tara’s thoughtful prompts, the two of us laughed, gained insights into each other, appreciated beauty, talked, created, shared silence, and made sweet memories that will last a lifetime. I’m so grateful for this unique experience.Kyle R

This was a fabulous experience for our family! Avid hikers, we wanted a new way to explore outside and this was it! Tara was amazing! She provided fun and interesting challenges for our family to complete as she let us on a beautiful journey through sculptures, the gorgeous Rio Grande, and a snowy hike. We had our 6-year-old and 8-year-old with us, as well as our two dogs. We loved the beauty, the peacefulness, and the creativity of this scavenger hunt. Tara was attentive and available to make sure we had a great experience. If you are looking to try something new and experience nature in a different way, we recommend this hunt!!Jamiegarcia25

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!
