Sit down for dinner at Sixty-Six Acres. It is the restaurant on-site at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center, so you can enjoy a meal without leaving the complex. The hours are 11:00 to 21:00 on weekdays and 11:00 to 20:00 on Sundays, so you have plenty of time before the sun goes down.

Step out onto the grounds of the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center as the sun dips below the horizon. The center sits just north of I-40, offering open views toward the west where the light fades. It is the perfect spot to watch the day end against the backdrop of the high desert sky.

Walk over to the Rio Grande Nature Center to let the cool night air settle in. This small nature center is set in the bosque, providing a tranquil setting with wildlife ponds and enclosed views of the native wildlife. It is a peaceful place to reflect on the day.
Local tip
The Indian Pueblo Cultural Center is open from 9AM to 5PM daily, but the grounds and restaurants stay open later for events. The Nature Center is best visited after dark when the lighting is low and the atmosphere is quiet.
