From Visit Taos New Mexico
If you’re still on the lookout for that perfect way to wrap up summer, we have just the adventure for you—join us in Taos! With warm golden days and cool evenings filled with potential, the final stretch of the season offers a wonderful opportunity to slow down, take in the beauty around you, and savor the special moments. The apricot trees are bursting with fruit, and the Farmers' Market is alive with energy every Saturday at the Courthouse parking lot.
Imagine yourself enjoying a gentle breeze in the plaza, hiking along your favorite trails, or basking in a breathtaking sunset with friends. These late-summer experiences in Taos are moments you'll want to cherish. Start your adventure at Taos Pueblo, the oldest continuously inhabited community in North America, where you can connect with the area's rich history. Then, stand in awe on the stunning Rio Grande Gorge Bridge or explore the unique Earthships that highlight the innovative spirit of Taos.
While you’re here, treat yourself to a leisurely stroll through the Saturday Farmers Market, relish a cup of coffee at a sun-drenched café off the plaza, or immerse yourself in the local culture at the vibrant festivals, concerts, and art events that keep the excitement alive year-round. For those craving adventure, Taos offers endless possibilities. Explore serene mountain trails, take to the skies in a mesmerizing hot air balloon ride, or bask in the spectacular colors and aromas as you bike, hike, climb, and raft through this captivating landscape.
