14 days in Taos Itinerary

Many residents have shunned fast-paced city living for Taos's laid-back vibe and blend of Spanish, Native American, and Anglo cultures.

Do some cultural sightseeing at Taos Pueblo and Millicent Rogers Museum. Get in touch with nature at Philmont Scout Ranch and Kit Carson Park. Explore Taos' surroundings by going to National Scouting Museum (in Irving), Chimayo (Santo Nino Chapel, Chimayo Trading & Mercantile, &more) and Cimarron Canyon State Park (in Eagle Nest). And it doesn't end there: view the masterpieces at Rottenstone Pottery, identify plant and animal life at Wild Rivers Recreation Area, take your sightseeing to a higher altitude at Jemez Mountains, and relax and rejuvenate at some of the best spas.
