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.

Kokopelli Rafting Adventures offers an excellent day trip through the Rio Chama's White Rock Canyon on Class II and Class III rapids, as well as a hike through Bandelier National Monument. Be ready for some intense physical exercise on your water sports excursion. The spirited, high-adventure of it all makes it well-worth it.

At Vanessie of Santa Fe, there is always a Piano Man playing songs that will truly make you feel alright. The charming piano bar is located inside Vanessie's restaurant and attracts fans of great food and equally appealing music. The melodies you know and love come to life thanks to the keyboard virtuosity of such players as Charles Tichenor, Doug Montgomery and other master keyboardists. If you don't feel like heading into the restaurant, you can still order light menu items at the bar so you won't miss a note of the nightlife fun.

Santa Fe's Canyon Road impressively encapsulates some of the best aspects and attractions of the city all in one place.

Make sure you're wearing your favorite pair of walking shoes and bring some money because you're sure to find some unique items you will want to purchase along the way.
