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.
