Taos New Mexico suggestions

I’m thinking of visiting there with maybe a day also over at Angel Fire and am looking for suggestions on the best day hikes and things to do.
I hope the leaf change is happening at this time.

I’ve heard that the Enchanted Circle drive from Taos through Angel Fire, Red River, etc. is a great trip this time of year. I’ve never done it though. A friend of ours told me this morning the leaf change is still going on.

I just got back from Angelfire. Leaves are pretty much at peak right now. Divesadero Loop trail is a good one. Black Rock hot springs is cool, but it's also pretty busy. The enchanted circle drive is certainly worth doing. We've also done the earthship tours, which we found fascinating.

Williams Lake trail at Taos Ski Valley. Pretty easy hike but you are at 9000 feet and go up above 10,000. You can turn it into a pretty tough hike by taking the Wheelers Peak trail that spurs off the Williams Lake trail.

Dunno if your a Michael Murphy fan but he Plays in the area fairly regularly.

The only thing I’ve heard from someone from NM is that Texans completely invade their ski slopes each winter

It’s pretty heavily Texan. We go to AF quite a bit in summer for mountain biking and fishing and we always talk about how many Texas license plates there are. It’s also weird how few Oklahoma plates we see, since it’s super close as well. We actually talked to some Texans this trip, and they said half the condos are owned by people from Texas, specifically Amarillo.

Thanks all. I wasn't interested in skiing but wanted to catch the fall foliage and maybe see some of the later summer flowers and such while I explore the area and hike.

Why is this shocking. Its within a days drive from all of West Texas, San Antonio, and DFW? Its like saying all the plates on 30A are from Atlanta people....

I guess I am just surprised that there isn't a similar representation of visitors from Oklahoma. But OKC is over 8 hours away, while Amarillo is only 5... so I suppose it makes sense. The panhandle of OK is closer than OKC, but it's sparsely populated to say the least.

Check out the South Boundary trail. It runs through Carson national forest near the town of Taos (not Taos ski valley) to Angel Fire. Has multiple loop trails for shorter hikes. You can find more information on the CNF website. We had a vacation home in AF for several years. Would hike the trail often. If you start in Angel Fire, the hike is generally downhill. We would only hike a couple of miles. So I cannot tell you much about the 20 mile trail in totality. AF is higher in altitude than Taos.

I've hiked that a little from Taos. It's a nice trail and convenient to town but does have a lot of mountain bikers on it. It didn't bother me but you have to pay attention as they are moving pretty quick.
