All around Taos there are a myriad of rivers, lakes and streams to fish in. Here are three, easy to find, not hard to get to, fishing holes to cast your line into.

“It’s a way to experience untamed and completely different parts of our region, without having to sacrifice creature comforts.”

It’s hot out there! In more ways than one, but even though fires are burning with more heat waves on the radar, there are still a few places to go and cool off if need be. From mountain tops to air-conditioned heaven, catching a breeze is easy aqui en Taos, if you know where to go.

Monsoon season means mushrooms aqui en Taos. Few realize that Taos is one of the best places to find edible boletus (porcini) in the United States. With hundreds of varieties of mushrooms – you’ll be in mushroom heaven!

There’s a lot to do in Taos, rain or shine, but when you plan your day to be outdoors, it can be a bit of a downfall. Here are 5 activities in Taos that’ll keep you out of the rain until the sun comes out again.

Finding inspiration from nature, Deb Komitor’s landscape paintings express the joy she has felt in nature since childhood. Her work is available exclusively in Taos, at Taos Blue on the corner of Bent Street and the Paseo.

Chaos is inevitable in itself, and like inevitable things drives our sensemaking in a world of happenstance and circumstance. A world where despite inevitability, nothing is ever the same twice.

Native ceremonies, active adventures, luxurious tents, boho vintage trailers, and indulgent farm to table crafted meals. Experience Taos by connecting to nature. Enjoy outdoor yoga and energizing hikes that meet the mystical Sangre De Cristo mountains. Come slow down and nurture your soul through Taos’ landscape. Connect to your body while indulging in luxury glamping.

I don’t recall how or where I first met Erin Currier, but I’ve been looking at her work since her first show in Taos at the old South Side Bean. Erin Currier’s critically acclaimed traveling show, La Frontera opens at the Harwood Museum of Art on February 10th, in conjunction with Work by Women.

Zoe Zimmerman is another amazing addition to the Work By Women show a the Harwood Museum. Living in her art, her camera almost never leaves her side. From studio skills to out door in the moment shots, Zimmerman captivates her audience with her photos. Her singular vision spots things that most miss, creating spectacular art.
