A rolling mesa at the base of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Taos has a magical quality. Its rugged beauty, majestic mountains, wild Rio Grande river and unique blend of cultures - Spanish, Native American and Anglo - have historically drawn artists and photographers, evidenced by the plentiful galleries, museums and festivals. To experience the Native American culture here, explore Taos Pueblo, where the Tiwa Native Americans have practiced their traditions for centuries. Finally, the Anglo influence is prevalent in the business district, with its shops, art galleries and some of the finest restaurants in New Mexico. Skiing is also a major draw, but the challenging slopes are geared to the more advanced crowd. There's no rat race here; a fair share of non-mainstreamers have made this laid-back, low-key mecca their home. You, too, may not want to leave its tranquility and natural beauty.

Enchanted Circle Pottery is a working art studio and gallery. Ceramic artists will provide a tour and explain the pottery process.
My family always loves stopping by this place when we're in Angel Fire - the owners and artists are so welcoming, so kind, and always happy to take the time to explain their process to you and give you a full tour of the studio and kiln where their works take shape. Every piece they make is beautiful and unique, and it's a great place to pick up gifts both for yourself and for others! Highly recommend stopping there if you're ever in the Enchanted Circle!

I met up here with two friends from SMU Bank School... We have been traveling together every year in September since we graduated in 1989. THIS PLACE is one of the best!! It is so historic and wonderful. We each had our own room in Juniper House, with our own bath. A fireplace in every room and plenty of good lighting to read or write. The wooden floors creak, but they were covered with colorful rugs. Beds were comfy. And the breakfasts were delicious and amazing. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Wifi was available near the main house. We felt so welcome as we lounged in the library and played Mexican Train and as we had wine and snacks in the courtyard and as we relaxed in the arbor. The whole property was open to us and we enjoyed the peace and beauty. And then when we wanted to go into Taos, it was a short drive. I will return.

The gallery carries the work of Linda Rauch, who paints in acrylics and watercolors, as well as the work of sculptor Rick Hewitt. Originally the gallery was the first Taos School of Art, which was founded by artist Emil Bistram many years ago.
