When you plan a romantic evening out, get dressed up to enjoy a date night of classic performances with The Santa Fe Opera. Even though the season is relatively short (July and August only), planning early for that special evening will definitely pay off. Purchasing your seats and making the arrangements with plenty of lead time will ensure that you not only get great seats, but you can also plan to enjoy additional amenities. You'll want to get to the venue early to enjoy a pre-performance buffet and then mingle for a while as the two of you marvel at the breathtaking beauty of the Opera House itself.

Nature lovers and history buffs will have much to enjoy outdoors when visiting Nambe Falls. There is plenty to captivate the eye, as this area features such natural amenities as waterfalls, fishing, camping, and inviting hiking trails. The excellent lookout points are numerous, but make sure to check out the area above Nambe Pueblo, which is one of the most breathtaking. The spot is also where the annual Fourth of July dance ceremony is held.

Can't decide whether to take in a movie or a show? You can have both when you make La Cantina at Casa Sena part of your evening plans. The waitstaff doubles as performers of musical comedy, so not only do they serve up favorites like excellent Southwestern or New Mexican entrees, there's also a generous helping of Broadway-styled, nightlife entertainment to enjoy, as well.

When you Ski Santa Fe, you are in for a ride that defies description at every turn.

There are equipment rentals available for skiing as well as for snowboarding and snow blading. You won't want to miss a minute of this fun-filled, highly scenic adventure during skiing season that traditionally runs for three weeks in late September into October.
