Taos
An adobe pueblo continuously inhabited for over a thousand years and still a living community rather than a museum, an art colony that has drawn painters for a century for the same high-desert light, and ski slopes above town that stay open well after the pueblo turns green again below.
The best time to visit Taos is Apr–Jun, Sep–Oct, when typical daytime highs reach about 18°C (65°F).
