<p>The Rio Grande is never more beautiful than at sunset, when a golden light shimmers on the green meadows of the Orilla Verde, easily accessible but tucked away from the rush of the modern world. This extraordinary high-desert evening light inspired artists such as Georgia O'Keeffe and great Taos artists like Nikolai Fechin and Ernest Blumenschein. Along with the healing energy of the gently flowing waters, and perhaps a glimpse of bighorn sheep and deer coming for their evening drink, river otters playing in the shallows, and beavers awakening for their nocturnal doings, a Sunset Dinner Float is a delightful and memorable experience: the perfect end to what we hope was your perfect day in beautiful northern New Mexico.</p> <p>Dinner is prepared fresh at one of the riverside campsites.</p> <p>Dinner consists of 3 traditional New Mexican Cuisine options served with posole, beans and a salad</p> <p>Fajita plate with either grilled steak, grilled chicken, grilled shrimp or grilled veggies</p> <p>Pork tamales with mole drizzle served with roasted corn and grilled zucchini. </p> <p>Stuffed Quesadillas with either grilled, grilled chicken, grilled shrimp or grilled veggies</p> <p>Kids quesadilla and seasonal fruit slices</p> <p>Dessert is served as the night draws in and a braod swathe of stars twinkle into view.    </p> <p>Or Reserve our Private Chef and get a meal designed and custom made for your group.</p> <p><em>We are not licensed to serve alcoholic beverages.
