Taos is a colorful contradiction in terms. At once, the oldest continually inhabited area of North America and a modern artsy enclave of culture, this scenically situated hotbed of outdoor activity doubles as place for physical as well as mental rejuvenation. Though a retreat for the well-heeled, it is not place outside the reach of the common man. There are amenities for everyone in this friendly tourist town that has grown with a steady influx of people who came to play and found out they didn't want to leave. Who can blame them? With over 300 days of sunshine a year and most of its precipitation coming in the form of 300 inches of snow, the town is blessed not only with an incredible mountain setting but an envious dry climate. Toss in ample culture and you've got a winning recipe for not only a tourist town but a growing town of devotees who believe leaving is not an option. |

I always thought I would like Taos - now I know I must go there! Your stunning photos make me want to pack my bag tomorrow ;-) I love the adobe architecture (that church!) and your accommodation sounds fun, as do the characters on the brew pub! | mircaskirca Wed May 27, 2009 20:05 UTC
Oh, I love this architecture - the colours, the lines and the details! I think I'd very much enjoy strolling the streets of this picturesque town! Secco de Arroyo seems to be a nice place for a cup of coffee and having a look at local artists work :) | Bwana_Brown Wed May 27, 2009 03:02 UTC
Richie, you captured some fantastic colours and scenes in both the landscape and local architecture!! Your accoms sounds like fun - a bit like a place we stayed in San Ignacio, Belize. I too enjoyed my short time in beautiful Taos a few years ago. | Sharrie Sun May 24, 2009 13:42 UTC
