Sights
Eagle Nest
Only 300 people live in this windswept town near Taos that gives visitors an insight into small-town life in the high plains. Serves as an economical base from which to hike, fish, snowmobile and ski in the surrounding mountains.

Earthships
The brainchild of architect Michael Reynolds using used automobile tires and cans pounded with dirt to build naturally efficient dwellings. The “Earthships” are buried on three sides with earth and are designed to heat and cool themselves while producing their own electricity and catching their own water.

Rio Grande Gorge Bridge
The second highest suspension bridge in America spanning 500 feet across and 650 feet above the Rio Grande River below. The views across the Taos Plateau and jagged walls of the river are spectacular.

Carson National Forest
Over 1.5 million acres of southwest scenery rising from 6,000 feet to over 13,000 feet of elevation. This is peace and quiet within nature, lush with fishing, hunting, camping, skiing and snowmobiling.
