TAOS -
February 23rd to March 1st, 2008
After year's of requests, we're finally
making our first trip to Taos!
A rolling mesa at the
base of the Sangre de Cristo
Mountains, Taos has a magical
quality. Its rugged beauty,
majestic mountains, wild Rio
Grande river and unique blend of
cultures - Spanish, Native
American and Anglo - have
historically drawn artists and
photographers, evidenced by the
plentiful galleries, museums and
festivals. To experience the
Native American culture here,
explore Taos Pueblo, where the
Tiwa Native Americans have
practiced their traditions for
centuries. Finally, the Anglo
influence is prevalent in the
business district, with its
shops, art galleries and some of
the finest restaurants in New
Mexico. There's no rat race
here; a fair share of
non-mainstreamers have made this
laid-back, low-key mecca their
home. You, too, may not want to
leave its tranquility and
natural beauty. |
