BIKING

Mountain bike enthusiasts can ride until their legs beg to quit in some of the most scenic mountain bike rides in the Taos area, our trails are full of challenges. Enjoy beginner and intermediate rides at lower elevations on BLM land or Carson National Forest while more experienced riders can tackle the alpine trails in Taos Ski Valley.

RAFTING

From tranquil waters to pounding river rapids, the Rio Grande and the Rio Chama have adventure waiting around every boulder and canyon cliff. Taos rafting offers some of the Southwest’s most thrilling late spring and summer recreation. Ride the Taos Box under the famous Rio Grande Gorge Bridge as you battle the waves of Class IV rapids or stick with (slightly) smaller Class III rapids on “The Racecourse”.

For a slower pace, the Rio Chama is a sublime excursion into an isolated, beautiful sandstone canyon. Options run from half-day to multiple-day excursions, from evening cruises with shoreside dinner to running world-class rapids.

Break out of the ordinary and experience adventure that eludes the average traveler.
