Great Itineraries

If You Have 1 Day

Begin by strolling around Taos Plaza , taking in the galleries and Native American crafts shops. Take Ledoux Street south from the west Plaza and go two blocks to visit the Harwood Museum . Walk back to the Plaza and cross over to Kit Carson Road, where you can find more shops and galleries as well as the Kit Carson Home and Museum . Continue north on Paseo del Pueblo to the Taos Art Museum at the Fechin House . In the afternoon, get in the car and head north on Paseo del Pueblo to the traffic light, where you turn left on U.S. 64. to the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge . If you're feeling peppy, you can climb down to the river, or just gaze down into the breathtaking chasm from the bridge. Return the way you came, turning right at the light, and drive the short distance to Millicent Rogers Road. Turn right and proceed to the Millicent Rogers Museum , where you can easily spend the rest of the afternoon. If you're in town for the evening, stop in at the Adobe Bar at the Taos Inn for music and people-watching.

If You Have 2 Days

Spend the first day doing the one-day tour above. On the second day, drive out to the Taos Pueblo in the morning and tour the ancient village while the day is fresh. Return to town and go to the Blumenschein Home and Museum . Lunch at the nearby Dragonfly Café. After lunch drive out to La Hacienda de los Martinez for a look at early life in Taos and then to Ranchos de Taos to see the beautiful San Francisco de Asís Church. If it's dinnertime, eat at Joseph's Table or the Trading Post Café. If it's still early, drive back to town and browse in the shops on Bent Street and the adjacent John Dunn House Shops.
