Questa
Less than an hour north of Taos, the Village of Questa is the northern gateway to the Enchanted Circle. The town was host to a molybdenum mine for a century, and is now known as a solar and sustainable energy leader.
Taos Pueblo
The Red Willow people of Taos Pueblo have called the base of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains home for more than 1,000 years.

Located near the foot of El Salto Mountain, the tiny village of Arroyo Seco is 7 miles north of Taos along NM 150, the main road to Taos Ski Valley.
