Summer in Taos is beautiful, but let’s face it, it can get hot! So, we’ve gathered up a few ways to stay cool this summer when visiting Taos.
Rafting
Rafting the New Mexico Rio Grande Gorge is a thrilling adventure that brings you close to the beauty of New Mexico’s landscape. Plus, it’s an activity that can be enjoyed by almost anyone who is willing to hit the high waters. The Rio Grande is a massive river that travels 1,885 miles through the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, and into Mexico. The most spectacular views can be found atop the gorge and the Rio Grande Bridge. But the best way to experience its beauty is to venture down the gorge on a Taos rafting trip.
Visit a winery or a brewery
Not all adventures have to take place outside. Cool off and take a break from the sun with a visit to one of Taos’ wineries or breweries. A few of them are easily accessible if you’re heading toward Taos from Albuquerque, so be sure to make a stop along the way. Many wineries also have tasting rooms right in The Plaza near the Hotel la Fonda de Taos.
Take a hike in the Taos Ski Valley
The Taos Ski Valley isn’t just for skiers. With its higher elevation, dense forests, and scenic landscape, it is a great place to cool off and take in the views. Take a hike where there are rushing streams and plenty of shade and you’ll feel cooler instantly.
Book a trip to Taos in the fall
What better way to beat the heat of summer in Taos than by planning a trip to Taos in the fall. Cool off with thoughts of crisp autumn days, beautiful fall foliage, and iconic fall festivals like the Taos Mountain Balloon Rally. Taos in the fall is something that should be experienced by all! Take a scenic drive through colors of yellow, orange, and red. Hike amongst the fall splendor and attend one of the many fall festivals that Taos hosts every year.
