Hiking
The Taos Valley Overlook Trails are a network of several single and double track loops totaling about 16 miles on the far southern end of the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument. The popular Rift Valley and Traders Trails begin here, where you get stunning views over the dramatic landscape, carved by the Rio Grande. There are no facilities at this trailhead so please be prepared with plenty of water, food, and be sure to have used the bathroom ahead of time.
