Nestled on a 7000-ft. mesa between the Sangre de Cristo mountain range of the southern Rockies and the spectacular Rio Grande Gorge, Taos is the complete year-round restort area of the Sunbelt. Combining charm, character, and culture, Taos has a unique and historic flavor. The mix of Indian, Spanish, and American influences complements the beauty and variety of northern New Mexico. | Recreational opportunities provide real life adventures throughout the year. In winter, Taos is a deep-powder skier's dream, with four challenging downhill ski areas within 30 miles. Cross-country and snow-shoe enthusiasts will find quiet forest trails and open mesa fields. In summer, white-water rafting, hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, and horseback riding are available. | |

Taos is home to numerous cultural events, concerts, exhibitions, festivals and dramatic productions. These happenings occur year around because the climate is, in a word, sunny: mild in winter, cool and pleasent in summer. They also occur because Taos is a celebration of life, known world wide. | With over 80 galleries, Taos is the acknowledged Southwestern art capital, and a major U.S. market for paintings, posters, Indian jewelry, rugs, and pottery. The Taos Indian Pueblo, the Kit Carson Home and Museum, Carson National Forest and the Taos Plaza are a few of many attractions. |
