It definitely was a pleasant surprise and pending where you look, it has been regarded as one of the top 10 ski resorts in North America.<\/p>\n<p>Their motto is &#8220;ski better, not bigger&#8221; as while it is not enormous it has a ton of incredible &amp; challenging terrain. If you don&#8217;t like the Aspen or Vail scene then this is even more so your place to visit.<\/p>\n<p>As a rough simile&#8230; If Aspen is Los Angeles then Taos is Austin, TX and everyone loves Austin! They have an average of 305 inches of snow, 1,300 acres of terrain, 113 trails and 14 lifts. One of these lifts takes you to Kachina Peak, pictured below, which accesses one of the more harrowing areas I have ever rode.<\/p>\n<p>It is a stunning place and definitely worth the visit. A little off the beaten path, less commercial and definitely a quieter more craft beer\/new-age-hippy vibe.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6839 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/inspiretraveleat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Top-things-to-do-Taos-Snowboarding-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Taos Bucket List things to do Ski Taos \" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inspiretraveleat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Top-things-to-do-Taos-Snowboarding-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/inspiretraveleat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Top-things-to-do-Taos-Snowboarding-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/inspiretraveleat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Top-things-to-do-Taos-Snowboarding-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/inspiretraveleat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Top-things-to-do-Taos-Snowboarding-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/inspiretraveleat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Top-things-to-do-Taos-Snowboarding.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Should you snowboard in Taos Ski Valley?<\/h2>\n<p>Short answer: no. I have never seen a hill that was truly not good for both skiing and snowboarding but this hill unfortunately just wasn&#8217;t fun at all for snowboarders. It felt like 75% of the runs had moguls, including when I went to the double-blacks at the top of the mountain via Kachina Peak.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately there just isn&#8217;t a ton of snowboard friendly runs and if you are just a beginner than this shrinks the hill significantly. It is a top notch ski hill though that&#8217;s for sure but I wouldn&#8217;t make it a first stop for snowboarders. This is not to say you can&#8217;t and shouldn&#8217;t&#8230; I just wouldn&#8217;t put it at the top of the list.<\/p>\n<h2>2.

This site is truly one in a million as you lounge in a hot bath in a giant gorge with one of the most well known rivers in the USA meandering by you.<\/p>\n<p>How to get to Manby Hot Springs? Getting here can be rough, especially since residents were able to get the route changed on Google Maps to tell you to go the long and rough way!<\/p>\n<p>There are a few ways to get here, one is often fenced off (Apple Maps might take you this way), one is a mud bog and one is ideal but residents don&#8217;t want you to go that way and sometimes a ranger can be there stopping people.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6818 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/inspiretraveleat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Top-things-to-do-Taos-Hot-spring-header-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Taos Bucket List things to do natural hot springs\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inspiretraveleat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Top-things-to-do-Taos-Hot-spring-header-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/inspiretraveleat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Top-things-to-do-Taos-Hot-spring-header-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/inspiretraveleat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Top-things-to-do-Taos-Hot-spring-header-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/inspiretraveleat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Top-things-to-do-Taos-Hot-spring-header-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/inspiretraveleat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Top-things-to-do-Taos-Hot-spring-header.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The mud bog way, which Google Maps has for you, is no joke and would only try that way if you have a high clearance 4&#215;4 if you are there on a wet day. The ideal way to get there, which you may get turned around from is through the Stagecoach Hills Neighborhood via Tune Drive.<\/p>\n<p>Residents are against this and I am torn as clearly it is annoying to have tons of tourists driving through your area&#8230; yet this is the world many of us live in nowadays.<\/p>\n<p>All I can say is if you do go this way then please drive extremely slow for the residents and don&#8217;t leave an impact on the environment of course. I wish they made a toll there or a park entrance fee with money going to residents.

You&#8217; turn off of Highway 22 onto County Road B007 and follow the road up until John Dunn Bridge, going over the Rio Grande.<\/p>\n<p>From there you&#8217;ll go left up a hill for 30 seconds and you&#8217;ll see the small sign to park there.
