タオス郡周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Set in a forested valley near the Pecos Wilderness, Santa Barbara Campground is a convenient base for exploring nearby trails like Beatty’s Trail and the Santa Barbara Divide. The campground has a resident host, potable water, and vault toilets, making it a comfortable stop before heading into the backcountry. Sites are shaded and spacious, offering a quiet place to rest beside the creek and enjoy the crisp mountain air.

Truly a beautiful place.

The La Vista Verde Trail is in the Orilla Verde Recreation Area and is just over one mile one way. This fairly flat trail is a great place to enjoy an easy hike just below the edge of the gorge overlooking the Rio Grande River. The La Vista Verde Trail is particularly nice in the spring when wildflowers bloom along the trail.

This spot, just a short distance from the main parking area and overlook, is a great place to take in the striking views of the Rio Grande Gorge and bridge away from some of the crowds closer to the parking area. This is an amazing spot to snap a few photos before continuing down the West Rim Trail.

From the The Upper Slide Trail Trailhead, or Cascabel Trailhead, you can access the northeastern end of the popular Slide Trail, which links up to the Orilla Verde Campground and Taos Junction Bridge and Boat Launch. There are several parking spaces and vault toilets here for you to use, which are good to know about if hiking up from the Taos Overlook Trailhead that does not have any facilites.

This trailhead offers parking for several dozen cars and is a popular embarkation point for hikers, bikers, and equestrians.

If you want to ride the IMBA Epic trail "South Boundary" this is where the shuttle company picks you up. The shuttle takes you to the trailhead of South Boundary up on Osha Mountain where your mountainbike adventure beginns. After 21 miles of singletrack the trail spits you out again at this parking lot. You can book your shuttle under: https://shuttletaos.com/
