Taos, NM

You gotta love a town where a bank has igloos in front of it.


I wish I had more time to spend in Toas. After all, maybe I’d have run into Julia Roberts — she has a home here! In any case, I got to do a little cycling in this town that is, well, not exactly designed for cycling. At least not within the city itself. There are mountains surrounding the town and the Indian reservation nearby, and a ski resort to the northeast. I thought Taos was nice, with an eclectic mix of shops and lots of interesting adobe structures, though sadly not even Taos was spared from northern New Mexicans’ trash and litter. More photos are here.

The approach from Colorado about 100 miles west of Taos featured rock formations, trees of stunted growth and lots of scrub.

My Cannondale and a wagon.

Mountains north of town. There is skiing up there in the winter.

Adjacent to Taos is Taos Pueblo, an Indian reservation. This is a gravesite there.

Due to the large number of photos, only the first 6 are shown. View photo album or slideshow.

    They aren’t igloos outside the bank They’re copies of ornos or bread ovens traditionslly used by the pueblo natives.
