Join me to explore hiking trails in the Rio Grande Del Norte National Monument! The popular hikes on my tour expose travelers to the ecology, geography, history, and special sights in this area of natural beauty. Be on the lookout for bighorn sheep, wildflowers, deep river gorges, and other wildlife! I have hiked the trails on this tour many times. I am knowledgeable and passionate to share with you all about New Mexico's topography and the history behind the trails. Did you know The Slide Trail used to be a highway from Santa Fe to Taos, a drive that took 17 hours!? (Today 1.5 hours. ) The trails are easy, but wear proper clothing and shoes. These hikes are not for conditioning, but rather scenic, to take in flora and fauna and petroglyphs. They are at 6,300 ft. elevation so it's best not to rush. The sights to be seen will certainly be worth the exercise! Join me on this adventure! Not available during winter months with snow. Two day notice.
We will begin the tour at an agreed-upon location and in your vehicle drive to: -Drive to sites, 1/2 hour - Visit the Slide trail overlooking the Rio Pueblo Gorge at the confluence of the Rio Grande Gorge, 1/2 hour - Hike La Vista Verde trail in the Rio Grande Gorge, 2 hours. -Rio Grande Gorge overlook from world famous Gorge bridge, 1/2 hour - Organic Lunch at Farmhouse restaurant, 1 hour, no host. - Optional (included) Carson National Forest Taos Canyon: hike a foothills trail by stream, 1 hour All hikes are classified as "easy. " Please note Taos is at 7, 000 feet elevation. If you are not accustomed to that altitude, canned oxygen is available in Taos. Bring appropriate hiking attire: shoes, clothing, sunglasses, sunscreen, a hat and water! These hikes are not for physical conditioning, but rather to enjoy the spectacular scenery, including petroglyphs, thus, we will walk at a leisurely pace.
