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.

  1. 01

    Taos Pueblo

    The multistory adobe homes of Taos Pueblo have been lived in for centuries. Guided tours share the community’s history, though the pueblo closes to visitors for some ceremonies, so check ahead.

  2. 02

    Taos Ski Valley

    About 20 miles northeast of town, Taos Ski Valley is known for steep, challenging terrain off the Kachina Peak lift, a European-style base village and a renowned ski school.

  3. 03

    Rio Grande Gorge Bridge

    Northwest of town, the bridge spans a sheer basalt gorge hundreds of feet above the Rio Grande, with walkways for dizzying views and trails along the rim.

  4. 04

    San Francisco de Asís Mission Church

    In nearby Ranchos de Taos, the massive buttressed adobe walls of this 18th-century church were painted by Georgia O’Keeffe and photographed by Ansel Adams.

  5. 05

    Harwood Museum of Art

    Housed in a historic adobe complex near the plaza, the museum traces Taos art from the early colony to modern masters, including a gallery devoted to Agnes Martin.

  6. 06

    Earthship Biotecture Visitor Center

    West of the gorge, tours explore off-grid Earthship homes built from recycled materials such as tires and bottles, designed to heat, cool and water themselves.
