Car Travel in Taos

Car Travel

The main route from Santa Fe to Taos is NM 68, also known as the Low Road, which winds between the Rio Grande and red-rock cliffs before rising to a spectacular view of the plain and river gorge. You can also take the wooded High Road to Taos. From points north of Taos, take NM 522; from points east or west, take U.S. 64.

Parking

Major hotels have ample parking. Metered parking areas are all over town; in peak seasons -- summer and winter -- traffic and parking can be a headache. There's a metered parking lot between Taos Plaza and Bent Street and a free lot on Kit Carson, two blocks east of Paseo del Pueblo.
