Cottages in Taos

Beneath the shadow of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, adobe buildings house galleries where artists have sought inspiration for over a century. The UNESCO World Heritage Taos Pueblo showcases a thousand years of Native American history through its mud-brick structures. Wander the historic plaza, now lined with shops selling turquoise jewelry and textiles. In winter, enthusiasts flock to Taos Ski Valley for challenging slopes. Visit D.H. Lawrence's former home or explore the Rio Grande Gorge's dramatic bridge. The counterculture spirit that attracted Georgia O'Keeffe and Dennis Hopper still thrives in local cafés where conversations about art and politics flow as freely as the local craft beer.
