Small town, luxury getaway When people think about a ski vacation or outdoor getaway, the usual places like Aspen and Vail in Colorado usually come to mind. While Colorado offers plenty of outdoor vacations and vacation home rentals, one place off the beaten path for a luxury outdoor vacation is Taos, New Mexico. Located in the North Central region of New Mexico, Taos has a population of less than 5000 people. The weather in Taos is extremely mild, making it the ideal outdoor getaway destination year-round. Explore Taos Pueblo, which is a settlement first built between 1000 and 1500 A.D. by the Taos Indians. The fascinating village is constructed of adobe, which is a mix of straw, water, and mud. It is an exciting and interesting part of the Southwest culture and a historical landmark which shouldn’t be missed.
For an exquisite view of the beautiful scenery of Taos, consider taking a balloon ride. The beauty of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains with a backdrop of crystal clear blue skies will take your breath away as you soar through the air. A balloon ride in Taos is a wonderful way to see the beautiful fall foliage in the mountains. It will truly be a magnificent way to see some of the land which is still largely untouched by people. Of course if you are planning a ski vacation, Taos is the perfect destination. It is home to four ski resorts, and offers over 300 inches of new snow per season, and 300 days of sunshine. Half of the resorts trails are dedicated to beginning and intermediate skiers, and the other half are expert runs. No matter what your skill level, you will certainly be able to find your place on the slopes of one of Taos’ ski resorts.
There are also a variety of llama trekking tours through Taos. They are considered an effective means of transportation through the rugged mountain terrain, and can offer an exceptional one-of-a-kind experience to explore the Sangre de Cristo mountains. Llama trekking tours will take you to places among the peaks you would otherwise be unable to get to on foot, and will provide a memorable experience for the whole family.
Of course, the culture of Taos, New Mexico is unparalleled. They are known for their artist colonies which produce landscape paintings of the town and surrounding valleys. Inspiration is not hard to find in such a beautiful town, and artists in nearby colonies are able to capture the essence of life in Taos.
