Quick Itineraries

Coming to Taos for a couple nights? Here are some quick thoughts with web links on what to do.

Art?  Go to the Collector's Guide Online and look at the many Taos Gallery offerings.  Ask you Innkeeper for information on the Taos Museum Association's offerings.  In particular, we love the Millicent Rogers, the Harwood and the Taos Art Museum. 

Adventure?  Try a half-day white water trip from one of the many outfitters here in town, or a balloon ride with Pueblo Balloons, a Horseback Trip with Big Al at the Taos Ski Valley or the Llama Trek. 

Driving Tours?  Two of the nation's Top 50 scenic drives originate in Taos.  The Enchanted Circle and the High Road to Taos. 

Hiking?  La Posada de Taos has had a special Hiking Guide prepared for its guests featuring some of the best hikes in our area, including easy, moderate and difficult trails.  Ask you Innkeeper to mail you a copy.  Or, visit the Carson National Forest Website for extensive details on trails with maps and other guidelines. 

Architecture?  The Taos Pueblo's 1000-year-old structures are a great place to start followed by the many fascinating churches in our area.  The San Francisco de Asis Church in Ranchos de Taos is perhaps the most painted and photographed church in the Southwestern U.S. 

Live music, entertainment?  Each Thursday night during the Summer Months, the Taos Chamber of Commerce hosts Taos Plaza Live.  It's a free venue and is always entertaining.  Within an easy walk from La Posada de Taos each night are two other live music venues.  Ask your Innkeeper for details when you check in.

Please forgive me, but I'm still leaving so much out, I'll have to keep posting updates as the season progresses.  Enjoy!
