You are traveling to a haven of serenity. Most of the stores are locally owned and eclectic, but not functionally focused. You will be forced to slow down. Horns are seldom and hustle is unheard of.
Taos is considered a high desert. Temps Range from 75 degrees to 85 degrees during the day and 50 degrees to 70 degrees at night. A light jacket is recommended. Bring flat shoes that can get dusty.
We are at 7,000 ft altitude. Bring Sunscreen, drink water and if you are sensitive to altitude, grab some chlorophyll and a pocket sized oxygen tank when you get to Taos. For the sea level folks, remember that at higher altitudes, the effects of alcohol can be more pronounced.
