Imagine floating up in the sky via the basket of a hot air balloon, look over the edge and see the gaping Rio Grande Gorge in the valley below. If this makes you a little queasy, try your hand at one of the dozens of more summer activities in Taos. Horseback and llama riding is a popular family-friendly outing. New Mexico is not all desert and pueblos, areas near Taos such as the Rio Grande or Rio Hondo Rivers are a fisherman and woman's dream! Snag a northern pike, rainbow or brown. Take a ride up the chair lift and enjoy the mountain scenery backed by endless bluebird skies. Rent a mountain bike and explore forests, trails, and meadows for miles. After a few days of on-the-go outdoor activities, take a train ride and relax as a coal-fired steam engine carries you along a 64-mile route winding through the incredible New Mexico scenery. This is also a great option for fall to peep the fire-like Aspen trees splashed against the mountains like a painting. less

"A place of red willows," otherwise known as Taos, New Mexico is a town rich in culture and history. Taos received its name from nearby Taos Pueblo to the north, which was established around 1200 A.D. The enchanting Pueblo is an ancient structure belonging to the Taos-speaking Native American tribe of Puebloan people. Considered to be one of the oldest continuously inhabited communities in the country, the Pueblo people encountered multiple colonizing nations throughout history. In spite of this, the Pueblo tribes have held onto both their identity and traditions, blending their core values and community with the modern world. After a period of Spanish colonization in the 1600s, the area was named Don Fernando de Taos. The 1800s saw a period of fur trappers settling in the region followed by a flock of painters and artists in the early 1900s. In 1915, six artists formed the Taos Society of artists and began a trend of paintings that featured Native Americans in the pueblo. A few of these paintings now serve as a tourist attraction for thousands of annual visitors to Taos. less
