Taos has been a haven for travelers
for many centuries. For ancient Indian tribes, for Spanish explorers
and fur-trading mountain men, Taos was a place to rest, renew
and recreate.
Today's travelers use Taos in a similar manner. They still
enjoy hundreds of square miles of unspoiled wilderness around
Taos, including Carson National Forest. They learn of bygone
days through exploring the community's museums: Millicent Rogers
Museum (1), Fechin Institute (2), Kit Carson Home
and Museum (3), Blumenschein Home and Museum (4),
Harwood Foundation Museum (5), and Martinez hacienda (6).
They experience the spiritual aspect of Taos at the historic
San Francisco de Asis Church (7). They step back into
time by visiting Taos Pueblo (8), a World Heritage Site
that has been home to Tiwa Indians for nearly a millennium.
Taos Visitor Center (9), less than a mile from Taos
Valley RV Park & Campground, provides travelers with plenty
of information on area sites and activities. Call ahead to have
a Taos Vacation Guide mailed to you: 800-732-TAOS.
