Taos

Nestled at the base of New Mexico's highest peaks, Taos has been a welcoming artists' colony and outdoor activity hub for 400 years. Visitors can enjoy hot-air balloon rides, hiking, and river rafting or explore art galleries and museums. Skiing, fishing, and dining in local restaurants are also popular. Taos provides cultural experiences, too, such as visiting the Native American pueblo with a history spanning a millennium. Only 70 miles northeast of Santa Fe, Taos feels authentic, not touristy.
