When you drive to the Taos Ski Valley, this view is what you see as you scoot along the rim road out of Arroyo Seco. The light tone of many of the trees is due to the fall colors.
Taos is a small town in northern New Mexico. It is the ancestral home of the Taos Pueblo. Elevation is 7000 ft. above sea level. The Taos Ski Valley is one of a handful of ski only mountains in the U.S. and is part of the Sangre de Christo mountain range. The Rio Grande river runs thru Taos as well and is found at the bottom of a deep gorge. Taos has been known as an art colony for close to a century and has more artists per square mile than probably any other town in the U.S.
