Pros: Mellow mood, artsy attitude Cons: Small town drawbacks (transportation, limited choice in lodging, dining, etc.)
I suppose it's the light that attracts artists to Taos. Reflected off the rugged peaks that surround the valley, the light seems somehow softer, with more yellow to it than ordinary sunlight. I suppose it's the stories and characters of the place that ...
Pros: Natural beauty surrounds you ... Cons: The main thoroughfare is experiencing some traffic congestion ...
So, what exactly do you look for in a mini-vacation?
If you are like many, you'd probably really appreciate a respite from the harried world we find ourselves in these days. A tranquil place in the sun that is still naturally...
Pros: Splendid New Mexican landscapes, warm southwestern hospitality, and enduring traditions Cons: New Age hangers-on
New Age wisdom holds that a special "hum" persists in and around the small community of Taos, New Mexico. As I understand it, this "hum" optimizes one's receptivity to all things naturally spiritual, thereby contributing to one's overall quality of...
Pros: An example of freedom in some of its most open expressions. Cons: An example of the downsides of freedom of expression without responsibility.
Taos (pronounced TOW-OES, not TAY-OSS) is a town in Northern New Mexico that must be either very close to heaven or very close to hell. Most Americans who go there either love it or hate it. Very few would ever forget it unless they just pass through...
Pros: Isolated, beautiful, quiet Cons: Not for softies
I am not sure I should tell you about this place. It's kind of a secret place, a place that not many people visit. My wife and I have camped at this place several times, and we've been the only ones at the camp site. Maybe I'm doing myself a...
Pros: Interesting, arty little town, some historic stuff Cons: Not a lot to do once you're tired of art
Review Topic: Sights & Attractions
I lived in Taos for several years and still go back regularly to see family, so some of what I have to say may sound a little jaundiced, since I've lived there and am not as enchanted as a...
Pros: Beautiful, unspoiled scenery, located near Taos, free or inexpensive camping, recreational opportunities abound Cons: none
The Rio Grande River brings to mind many images. Most people think of the long, twisted border between Texas and Mexico. Others think of cities like Santa Fe, Albuquerque, or El Paso. But did you know that the mighty Rio Grande, bringer of liquid life...
Pros: scenery, art district, original local flavor Cons: not much!
Yes its been awhile. Too long if you ask me. It will be actually three years this June since I have been back to this magical place. I knew from the first few hours that I was in this state that there was something different and special about it....
Pros: variety of springs and spa services, quaint Cons: a bit out there
Hot springs are everywhere in the Rockies. Some are natural, some are public and some are private. The Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort is one of the latter, but it was a fun trip, nonetheless. Ojo Caliente - literally, Hot Eyes (I'm not sure what ...
Pros: Great skiing, Advanced terrain, backcountry Cons: Not much of a bar scene, limited beginner trails
When I first decided to go to Taos I said to myself, "Skiing in New Mexico?" Not many people would think that it such a dry place would you find such great snow. Taos gets plenty of snow, and has some GREAT skiing.
Pros: Spectacular Views.. Town is easy to get around.. Great Activities Cons: Town may be too small for some.. Teenagers may find a hard time having fun.
I just moved to Taos about 4 months ago and I love my decision more and more each day. I met with many locals and fellow visitors and found that Taos just had a feeling that could be found no where else in the world. Taos can be visited all year long ...
Pros: Nice terrain, challenging slopes, ridge. Cons: Not a lot to do, not a lot of different trails.
When you think about skiing in the West, New Mexico is not the first state to come to mind; you're more likely to take a look at Utah, Colorado, or Wyoming. Therefore I wasn't sure what to expect when I went on a group skiing trip to Taos Ski Valley two...
Pros: The scenery is amazing, and the vibrant colors will draw you in... Cons: Some snobs and LA folk around...
Town of a thousand memories and visions. Taos will enchant and work your senses, with its stunning scenery and charming aesthetic appeal. An art lover dream and a skiers paradise, nestled amongst the sage and the mountains. With an abundance of rich...
Pros: Beauty, wildlife, peace and quiet Cons: Roads were a little rough due to poor funding
I couldn't believe the first time I saw Taos and the surrounding areas. This is in the United States? Don't get me wrong I love the USA, but we are known for our cities and business, not for the beauty that is Taos, New Mexico. The town is quaint and...
Pros: Fantastic vacation get a way Cons: It always rained when we went there
When I saw that there were reviews on Taos, I had to see if others felt as fondly about this area as I. My mother was born in Taos so growing up I spent a lot of time (on vacations) visiting relatives in this area.
