Hiking & Hot Springs

While there are several day-use trails just outside of Taos, particularly on the south side of Hwy 64 east of town, the best day hiking and backpacking is a little further afield, up in the Wild Rivers area of Río Grande del Norte National Monument, and in the Latir Peak and Pecos wildernesses.

A couple of fabulous hot springs close to the Rio Grand Gorge – and now incorporated into the new national monument – can be reached by hiking from dirt roads west of Arroyo Hondo, some 9 miles north of Taos. The more readily accessible is Black Rock Hot Springs near the John Dunn Bridge. Manby Hot Springs (aka Stagecoach Hot Springs) is harder to find, but it’s a worthy place of pilgrimage – this is where the hot-springs scenes were shot in Easy Rider.

This evocatively named store, just north of the Plaza, is well stocked with outdoor supplies, and usually has a substantial sale rack. The folk behind the counter know what they're talking about.
