Features
Description
From there, you will voyage into the Rio Grande Del Norte National Monument for an interpretive guided experience. This land displays evidence of the ancient peoples’ regional inhabitance with petroglyphs, prehistoric dwellings sites and other archeological discoveries, and in so doing, previews Taos Pueblo’s long ancestral connection to the land.
You’ll see how the mighty Rio Grande River cuts through the center of the monument, whereby the thick lava flows of the Rio Grande Rift Valley carve out their sharp stunning 800-foot-deep descent through the middle of the Taos Plateau. Our trailhead starts at 6,400 feet, offering breathtaking scenery along the 2.4 mile La Vista Verde Trail. Catch views of the Taos Box, an 18-mile stretch of up to 900-foot cliffs and huge rapids that empty at the historic Taos Junction Bridge.
If you want a deeper understanding and viewing of the original peoples’ tribal dwellings and see for yourself why humans have been attracted to this gorgeously stark landscape for thousands of years, then book this tour today!
