High Road Artisans
The High Road Art Tour is a destination and an event on The High Road to Taos Scenic Byway. Each fall in northern New Mexico, artists on the High Road to Taos open their studios and galleries two consecutive weekends for the High Road Art Tour. The tour offers one of the most scenic drives along a winding road through the Sangre de Cristo Mountains between Santa Fe and Taos. During loveliest of seasons, it is an historic trip through tiny, old Land Grant villages and rural countryside.

Recommended Lodging
Yurts At Hyde Memorial State Park
Connect with the heart of nature in Hyde Memorial State Park's ponderosa pine mountain forest, where three yurts provide a unique lodging experience that's rooted in an ancient nomadic tradition. Each yurt contains six single beds that can be grouped together in various configurations. Kick back in your outside activity area, with a fire ring, dining table and food safe, to keep the critters away. Vault toilets and water are just a short walk away.
