The
Great Outdoors
Elevations around
Taos range from 5,000 feet to nearly 14,000 feet, offering a variety
of outdoor activities. During the warmer months, the Rio Grande and
Chama Rivers are ideal for kayaking and rafting, and the Sangre de
Cristo Mountains are the perfect destination for backpacking, horseback
riding, hiking and jeep tours. If you're a mountain biker, you'll
love the challenging 27-mile South Boundary Trail or the scenic West
Rim Trail that follows the Rio Grande gorge for nine miles.
If golf among snow-capped peaks is your desire, the Taos Country Club
and Angel Fire Resort have 18-hole championship courses, while El
Valle Escondido and Three Eagles Golf Course offer 9-hole challenges.
In the winter, cross-country ski through backcountry wilderness or
glide over groomed trails at the Enchanted Forest Cross-Country Ski
Area. Taos Ski Valley offers legendary skiing and the Red River Ski
Area, Angel Fire Resort, and Sipapu are just a short drive away. The
Carson National Forest has world class downhill ski slopes, serious
backcountry ski terrain, and family-oriented cross-country ski areas
and snowshoeing trails. Snowboarders have their choice of slopes at
Angel Fire, Rio Costilla, Red River and Wolf Creek ski areas. After
all of this activity, reward yourself with a soak in the natural hot
springs at Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs.
