I did not stay in a teepee. I sure would if I was offered the opportunity.
These awesome teepees are located on the edge of town
just as you enter into Taos, New Mexico coming in from Santa fe, New Mexico.
Our group stayed two nights and three days in Taos.
Our first site - The Rio Grande Gorge Bridge
The Rio Grande Gorge Bridge
I loved the trip to the Gorge Bridge. The view was fantastic and the weather was perfect.
This Bridge, Gorge and Rio Grande River is something everyone should go to see
if you are from New Mexico or in the area of Taos.
Sorry, the below pictures of the river were taken from my cell phone
because my camera batteries needed to get recharged.

RIO GRANDE GORGE BRIDGE CRISIS HOTLINE
THE ICE CREAM BUS AT THE GORGE BRIDGE.
$5.00 FOR A CONE!
I thought the ice cream bus was the best vendor at the bridge.
They served almond milk ice cream which was pretty good after a day of site seeing.
There is a rest stop at the Rio Grande River Gorge with picnic tables.
Plenty of vendors at the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge selling Indian jewelry and trinkets.
Day Two - Horseback Riding and River Rafting
Cieneguilla Stables of Pillar, New Mexico
located about 15 miles outside of Taos.

Day Two - Horseback Riding and River Rafting
located about 15 miles outside of Taos.
A great day for riding horses!
Our group tour was 3 hours long.
Santana was the name of the horse I rode. She tried to snack on clover and grass the entire trip. She was a very old horse and did not care too much to follow the trail or other horses. She had us laughing the whole way. We started our ride at 8:45 a.m. and ended at noon. The trail was rocky and some parts of the trail had been washed out by the rains and river. By the way, for those of you that know I only wear dresses and skirts, I did wear pants for the horse back riding and shorts for the water rafting. Also, I enjoyed wearing my fancy sun hat and sunscreen to avoid turning into a lobster.
After riding the horses, we headed over to Cottam's Boat House on the river to have the picnic style lunch on the shore. Our guide was very friendly and outgoing. We loved the whole rafting adventure. We laughed so much and got really wet. The water was not too cold. We stopped twice for swimming on the river.
Video of the Cieneguilla Stables area, showing the hummingbird feeders, some of the horses, me riding my horse and doing an awful job at video recording. Also, a tiny bit of the rafting ride before I had to put the camera into a ziplock bag to protect it from the rapids up ahead on the river. I know its a horrible video. I can take photos but not video. A UFO would be perfect in this wobbly video.
TAOS PUEBLO
The Pueblo in Taos has many dog pacs just walking around and they are every where. None of the dogs bothered us. There are Native American shops at the Pueblo and group tours.
We just walked around the pueblo and did not stay long.
The Taos Pueblo was a nice site to see
and a guided tour probably is the best way to experience it.

PUEBLO CHURCH ENTRANCE
PUEBLO CHURCH
Taos, New Mexico is a small mountain town.
During the winter its a popular skiing destination.
The main area of the Taos Plaza has many little local shops and restaurants.
More local fun activities.
Our weekend had us there at the time of the summer fiesta for Taos with tent booths and entertainment. Sunday the town had a large parade. People lined the streets with their chairs early morning to see the parade. I found a good video on YouTube that gives a good portrayal of the towns fiesta parade.We were not able to stay for the Taos Parade but Im sure it was a lot of fun.
The local's favorite. My friend Joe G. told me to try this Michael's Kitchen.

This place was so good. We ate there when we arrived in Taos
and on the morning we departed from Taos.
Michael's Kitchen is vegetarian friendly. Delicious.
They serve traditional breakfast and New Mexican style breakfast.
In the center of Michael's Kitchen is the bakery goods case.
I took four giant cinnamon rolls home for friends.
Days Inn Taos, New Mexico
Continental breakfast,
a/c does not work too well
and the television channels are few to be seen.
I still liked the hotel and did not worry about the a/c and television.
I would stay there again.
