Place to see: High Road to Taos, Taos, New Mexico, United States

About this place:

A visit to Santa Fe would not be complete without a day trip to the high mountain art community of Taos, NM. There are several different ways to make your way to Taos but the very best way (as far as I'm concerned) is to take the "High Road". The High Road to Taos is a scenic mountain route that wanders through old Spanish villages high in the foothills of the Sangre de Christo Mountains. It winds from Santa Fe north to Pojoaque, and then northeast on route 503, state routes 76 & 75, and finally up 68 to Taos. The route is covered with with juniper and piñon pine and along the way are wonderful little villages, beautiful vistas and historical missions.
