Taos: fall at the ski resort
In October, while most of the Colorado golden, quaking aspen leaves had fallen to the ground, the leaves were still bright in Taos.
We arrived in Taos in time for a quick bike ride around town and then dinner. The next morning we tooled around Taos Ski area while waiting for Kris to arrive (via plane, then bus) after a long and delayed trip from Los Angeles.
This is Saguache town park and playground--a great place to stretch legs, have a snack or check out the museum on the scenic drive South from Denver to Taos via 285.

We could see one lift from the Taos ski area parking lot but the sign at the base told us not to panic, we were "looking at only 1/30th of Taos Ski Valley." So the three of us agreed to come back and ski what could be a massive ski mountain.
On this morning, we tackled the dirt roads with wheels...
...and made a pact to come back another summer and tackle the beautiful remote mountain valleys with skis and hiking boots.
Dreams of skiing and backpacking trips aside, there are great wheeled adventures to be had in Taos: along the rift!
