Here at the Inn we maintain an up to date file of trail maps, fishing conditions and a list of the best outdoor recreation providers which we share with our guests. We also take pride in suggesting scenic drives and stopping points which are off the beaten path. In the Winter , of course, Taos Ski Valley offers world-class skiing with short lift lines. Alternatively, the Winter offers nearby cross-country skiing on established tracks or in untraveled wilderness areas. For the truly adventurous, the Winter visitor can rent a snowmobile or a pair of snowshoes and experience the wide open spaces in the Carson National Forest.
Winter also supplies some very good fly fishing opportunities.
A perfect Winter day might just be a half day of skiing in the morning and casting to hungry trout in a late afternoon midge hatch. Of course, such a fantastic day wouldn't be complete without an evening of dining at one of Taos' many great dining spots. The multicultural history of Taos is reflected in its architecture, its art and in the collections of its seven fine museums. A tour of the Martinez Hacienda museum will give the visitor a real appreciation of early Spanish colonial life. Carson and his Hispanic wife Josefa made their home in Taos which is now the site of the Kit Carson museum.
