Make the Most of Your Taos Stay

Cultural crossroads in the high desert

Taos sits at 7,000 feet where the Sangre de Cristo Mountains meet the high desert plateau, creating a landscape that has drawn artists, writers, and seekers for over a century. The town's character stems from 3 distinct cultural influences: the ancient Taos Pueblo (continuously inhabited for over 1,000 years and a UNESCO World Heritage site), Spanish colonial heritage visible in the San Francisco de Asís Mission Church, and the early 20th-century art colony that established this as a creative haven. The adobe architecture defines nearly every structure, from galleries on Ledoux Street to restaurants around the historic Plaza.

Refined experiences beyond the galleries

The culinary scene balances traditional New Mexican flavors with sophisticated preparations at establishments like The Love Apple, housed in a historic chapel, and Lambert's of Taos, serving contemporary American cuisine since 1989. The Millicent Rogers Museum showcases exceptional Native American jewelry and textiles, while the Fechin House reveals the hand-carved Russian woodwork of artist Nicolai Fechin. Business travelers appreciate proximity to Taos Ski Valley, where The Blake offers upscale conference facilities at 9,200 feet.

Practical considerations

Most travelers fly into Albuquerque (2.5 hours) or Santa Fe (1.5 hours) and rent a car. The free Blue Bus connects major sites, though a vehicle provides flexibility for exploring nearby destinations like Ojo Caliente's mineral springs or the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge. The High Road to Santa Fe passes through mountain villages known for traditional weaving and the pilgrimage site at Chimayó.
