Taos County at a Glance
Located in north-central New
Mexico, Taos County borders Colorado
and boasts a wide variety of traveler services and attractions. Taos
has become the base for a sizable arts community, a trait that defines much of
this city and the surrounding area. Built on a rich history, Taos County is home
to a number of museums that recall the pioneer spirit and the days of the Wild
West, including the Governor
Bent House and Museum in Taos. In addition to offering local historical attractions,
the county is also a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, offering three ski hills for
winter fun as well as the Rio
Grande River for fly fishing, rafting and more in the warmer months. Cyclists
flock to Arroyo
Seco every year for the Taos
Alpine Classic Cycling Event, featuring race classes for all ages and skill
levels. For film buffs, the annual Taos
Mountain Film Festival features adventure, cultural and outdoor-themed films
every October.
