Taos sits on a high plateau at the foot of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, and it has drawn artists and seekers for more than a century, from the painters of the Taos Society of Artists to D. H. Lawrence and Dennis Hopper. Taos Pueblo, inhabited for roughly a thousand years and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, lies just north of town. Today the economy revolves around tourism, the arts, outdoor recreation and Taos Ski Valley, along with second homes, small businesses and remote workers drawn by the scenery and the slower pace.
The drive from Albuquerque takes about two and a half hours, and from Denver or Texas it is a long day. Taos Regional Airport sits on the mesa northwest of town near the Rio Grande Gorge, so flying private puts you minutes from the plaza and less than an hour from the ski lifts. Winter visitors come for the challenging terrain at Taos Ski Valley, while summer brings rafting through the gorge, hiking to Wheeler Peak, New Mexico’s highest summit, and the Enchanted Circle drive through Red River and Angel Fire.

Things to do in Taos
When to go. Ski season at Taos Ski Valley typically runs from around Thanksgiving into early April, with the best snow from January through March. Summer brings warm days and cool nights, rafting on the Rio Grande and the Taos Pueblo Pow Wow in July. Late September and early October bring golden aspens and the San Geronimo feast day at the pueblo. Spring can be windy and muddy, and the town is quieter between seasons.
