High Road to Taos Scenic Byway
Photography: check before you shoot
The mountain route between Santa Fe and Taos through Chimayó, Córdova, Truchas, and Las Trampas — centuries-old villages, weaving and woodcarving studios, and the 1816 San José de Gracia church, with the Sangre de Cristos overhead. Slower than the Low Road and worth every minute.
