Taos
Tips from the community
One of the best things to do in New Mexico is to visit Taos in Northern New Mexico. Drive the 105-mile scenic byway—the High Road to Taos— which spans all the way from Santa Fe to Taos. The tiny underrated US city has many points of interest, including Taos Pueblo: the only active Native American community designated both a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and a National Historic Landmark. Try rafting in the Rio Grande, tiptoeing across the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge, or visiting Taos’ 600-acre Earthship Community.

Taos is a famous hippie town with a long history of attracting artists, writers, and bohemians who are seeking a unique and alternative lifestyle. In the 60's and 70's, Taos became a haven for countercultural movements and alternative lifestyles, including the hippie movement. One of the most famous hippie communities in Taos was Hog Farm, a commune founded by a group of activists who traveled across the country in a psychedelic school bus. Hog Farm became known for its unconventional lifestyle, including communal living, vegetarianism, and a commitment to peace and social justice.
Today, Taos continues to attract people who are looking for an alternative way of life, whether it be through art, spirituality, or environmental activism. The town is home to numerous festivals and events that celebrate its unique cultural heritage, including the Taos Pueblo Powwow and the Taos Solar Music Festival.
