Food Scene

Awesome northern New Mexico comfort food. If you can find it, watch the Orlando's family matriarch put Bobby Flay in his place preparing homemade tortillas on Food Nation. One of my favorite places to eat in Taos.

Asian bistro--my favorite place for curry, but all their food is delicious. It's a little expensive, but a lot of their dishes will feed two (unless you are extra hungry), especially the curries. Just be sure to order additional rice!

When the Taos Diner shut down, its former head chef Jaime Saenz Ramirez opened up the Golden Piñon at the Quail Ridge Inn. Thankfully, he kept a lot of the favorites from the Taos Diner. Serving breakfast and lunch, Friday-Wednesday, 8am-3pm (closed Thursdays.)

Hiking/Parks & Nature

This is the perfect place to take a stroll at sunset or an early morning jog, winter or summer. Incredible views from the West Rim Trail accessed from the rest area on the north side of the bridge.

Beautiful, secluded hiking trail down into the Rio Grande Gorge. Trail ends at the confluence of the Red River and the Rio Grande. The road can become very difficult and muddy when it rains or snows melt so be sure to go on a dry day or on cold days in the winter (so the road is frozen). Taos also experiences long dry periods so it's possible the road will be fine no matter the time of year.

Beautiful trail that winds its way through pine and aspen glades, and marmot basking meadows to the top of New Mexico's highest peak (13,159'). Accessed from the Williams Lake Trail. About a 5-8 hour round trip from the Bavarian parking lot depending on your fitness level and altitude acclimation.

Awesome panoramic views of some of New Mexico's highest peaks. 4 mile round trip trail--be sure to finish off your hike with a cold brew on the deck of the Bavarian. Winter (snowshoe) or Summer.

If you are visiting Taos during the summer, be sure to catch one of the student or faculty concerts. World class professional classical musicians staging amazing concerts. Current faculty includes the Borromeo, Brentano, and Cooperstown Quartets. Piano faculty includes Robert McDonald of the Julliard School and Curtis Institute of Music. Mr. McDonald was the recital partner of Isaac Stern, has a vast discography, has performed with major orchestras all over Latin and North America, and has won the gold medal at the Busoni International Piano Competition, amongst others. He spends his summers in Taos and is an absolute must see.

This is also the location of Fine Arts New Mexico. Jack Leustig's business has a wonderful collection of prints, greeting cards, and fine art from numerous local artists, including the amazing Ken Price. Some surprisingly affordable art (and some not so affordable.)
