Күн бұрынRio Grande Gorge - Road Trip to Taos New Mexico
In this video we are taking a road trip up the Rio Grande Gorge to visit Taos New Mexico. There are several scenic routes to Taos, and on this trip we are driving along what is known as the ‘Low Road to Taos’ which is highway 68 from Espanola and it follows the Rio Grande river. We’ll stop at the Rio Grande Gorge Visitor Center and make our way to the scenic Rio Grande Gorge Bridge.
There are two scenic routes to Taos from the Santa Fe area. These are coined the 'high road' to Taos and the 'low road' to Taos. In this video, I take the low road to Taos which follows the river along highway 68.
At the town of Pilar we stop at the Rio Grande Gorge Visitor Center to learn more about the recreational opportunities, history, and artifacts found in the area. Several rafting outfitters leave from this parking lot. This is also a great place to stop for the restroom!
Continuing on through Taos, the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge is located 11 miles NW of Taos on Highway 64. This bridge has been featured in several notable movies- this was the place Mickey and Mallory were married in the 1994 film Oliver Stone movie: Natural Born Killers featuring Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis.

Your videos are stellar...you're not trying to sell anything; just straight honest talk. And you answer all the questions that come up in a viewer's mind as we listen: location, altitude, ticket costs, getting parking validation. We're leaving mid-September (2023) to see the "tri-cities" as I call them (Alb; S.F.; Taos) and now we know about wonderful places you've shown that we definitely would have driven right past. Well done! Keep up the good work! Now, do you have an "in" on the line where I can order up some nice warm days and cool, clear nights?? Pleeezzzz?? :)

Wow. I see the fall color did not disappoint! I think Glenn managed to see some this week on his trip but here in the valley it's the same as always. 😅 That gorge is gorgeous! (Ba-dum-ching!) We're there with you too... no drone but really would love to have one. That would indeed be a spectacular place to get some footage with one. Loving this trip so far!

This canyon is gorgeous. Kayaking or rafting on the Rio Grande would be awesome. The Rio Grande Gorge visitor center looks informative. It is sad to think about suicides here. I am glad they put the Crisis Hotline callbox there. The views from the bridge are so beautiful. The bridge itself even has a really cool look to it. Thanks for taking us along!

Thank you so much, this area is so beautiful and it has been many years since I visited. If you ever raft the 'Taos box' you can go under the bridge! I did it many years ago when I was younger and more adventurous!! :-)
