There are basically two ways to travel to Taos from Santa Fe, the High Rd or the Low Rd. So we did what (in our opinion) felt like the best option – took the High Rd to Taos, returning on the Low Rd, essentially seeing the best of both! What neither of us counted on was the fall colors which wereespecially prevalent with the golden Cottonwood trees lighting up long stretches along the Rio Grande (and virtually everywhere we turned) juxtaposed against the shifting colors of the mountains and the brilliant blue sky- it takes your breath away.
