Taos feels like a comfortable Navajo blanket, wrapping you with coziness and color. Pueblos with their sandy hues. Warmth despite the snow on the ground and majestic mountains as a backdrop. Crackling fires in kiva fireplaces and smoke billowing from chimneys.
Taos Ski Valley usually has the best snow in the state.
This town, which sits on a mesa at the base of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, magically speaks to the soul. This isn't Santa Fe, the neighbor less than two hours down the way, the tourist mecca with the flashy arts scene and chic clientele. There's no rat race here. It's tranquil, laid-back, and low-key. American Indian culture blends with Spanish and Anglo, embracing you and providing a weekend of discovery and a step outside your everyday zone. Get ready to slow down and enjoy. This is the place to do it.
Schedule-free
Itinerary? This isn't that kind of weekend. You can get lost in Taos -- and we mean that literally. One local explains, "Here in Taos, we don't really believe in addresses." So while you lose yourself, try to find our list of favorites at your own pace.
