    Tips

    November 10, 2023

    The Slide Trail is a popular trail in the Taos Overlook area of the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument. This trail traverses on a plateau high above the Rio Grande, offering hikers stunning views down steep cliffs over the water. Although this trail is generally pretty flat, there are a few rolling hills, some loose rocks, and there can be steep drop offs to the river below so use caution when hiking. There is also little to no shade along this trail, so be sure to bring plenty of water and sun protection!
