Then you are back to Taos . While Taos is a bit touristy, many visitors love it's boutiques and culture. All in all this is one of the best loops we have ever experienced. 58, Cimarron Canyon provides another scenic opportunity. The state park stretches for miles along the canyon where camping without hookups is available.
Fishing is available almost everywhere.
The town of Cimarron has all the necessities including alternative accommodations. From Cimarron, head to Springer, another nice town with accommodations. From there, take Hwys. 56 and 39 through the Kiowa National Grasslands. What's even more fascinating is where the highway literally drops off the plateau.
