Taos Plaza and Pueblo

In 2023, en route home from our winter in Texas, we explored New Mexico from bottom to top and side to side.

My feature photo is of a mural at the Taos Plaza in downtown Taos – an extremely artsy and cultural area.

Our main reason for visiting Taos, NM was to tour the Taos Pueblo. Both the town and the Pueblo were among our favourite New Mexico stops.

We did a leisurely self-guided tour

      It really was, Edward. It was so quiet there, so the ambience of the sounds of that little mountain stream behind us made it magical! Have a great day!

    Now that’s an area I’d like to explore! I appreciate artists and I always love the various ways they share their talents with others. I’ll have to try and travel through NM sooner than later.

      NM was amazing, no matter which part we visited. There wasn’t a spot in the entire state that wasn’t unique and interesting, Lenore!

      We try to have at least one new experience for every trip there and home, Carole. The trip one way is over 3,000 KM (1900 miles), so if we take a different route each trip (and there are many options), there’s always lots to see. Have a great rest tonight!

    Great mural. The land looks very parched. Is it like this all over the state all year?

      Taos is in the high desert at the base of the Sangre Christo mountains, Lana … so my guess is that it’s likely pretty dry at that location year round. Other parts of New Mexico were lush with spring greenery. It varied greatly across the state. We were through the state in early April.

      We’ve loved every state we’ve been to, Anne (we’ve seen every state but Hawaii). New Mexico is truly unique. Have a great day!

        I could use a few days in Hawaii! Maybe until next June. ☺️
