can take NM 150 up the canyon along the Rio Hondo to its end, where the Village of Taos Ski Valley offers an ideal base for Rocky Mountain activities all along the base of Wheeler Peak, the highest elevation in the state.

At Taos Ski Valley, one can escape the heat and quite literally “get away from it all” or use the cool mountain community as a stepping-out place for the Enchanted Circle. Visitors can hike, bike, fish and camp among spectacular cool mountain forests.

For something truly memorable, explore the landscape on the Via Ferrata, a climb-ing course featuring a metal wire bridge. Taos Ski Valley started as a timber and mining operation before Swiss-German ski pioneer Ernie Blake began developing the area for tourism in the 1950s.

Today, TSV offers visitors boutique shops, fine dining, a spa and wellness center, and so much more.
