Taos

Another beautiful town, Taos
is known for more than skiing.
Not far from the town is the
Rio Grande Gorge, an amazing
site to see. The bridge that
spans the gorge may not seem
very impressive, especially
since you can hardly see it
until you reach it. The reason
is that the gorge is basically
carved into a huge, flat
plateau. All of a sudden the
gorge appears, plummeting
over 600 ft below the plateau.
You are quickly impressed by
the height of the gorge and
the bridge as you peer over
the side of the bridge, dizzy
from the height and the
vibrations of the bridge from
passing trucks.
Taos - The Great Gorge Bridge





Picture of Taos Pueblo The Taos Pueblo is one
of the largest, still inhabited
Pueblos. Life here is virtually
the same as it was centuries
ago - no running water (the
creek running through the
Pueblo serves as water
source) and no electricity.
Indian artists sell various
works of art, pottery and
other items. Shown on the
left is someone's oven
being pre-heated for baking
bread.
