road trip

Today we took a road trip to one of my most favorite places in this area. Pilar. And the Taos Junction Bridge.

Awakening to a winter sky,

a morning fire was in order.

Then book a trip to Iceland for May, and off for coffee. Dogs frequently join their owners for coffee, and today was no exception.

Fancy attire

Pilar is seventeen miles south of Taos. There were gorgeous vistas along the way.

The Rio Grande Gorge off to the west

After reaching Pilar, the turn-off west is where the real beauty is for me.

The road meanders for about six and one-half miles along the Rio Grande River to the Taos Junction Bridge.

Brisk winds – chilly!
A number of fisher-people were on the stream

I was gobsmacked by the views seen as we headed east for the return drive to Taos.

The Taos Friendship Tree just south of Taos

Back in Taos it was time for cheese enchiladas at a favorite spot, La Queva.

In for the night with what else, an evening fire.

Winter advisory in place tonight and tomorrow. Three to five inches. Stay tuned.

  1. Pilar- yes, those views are stunning! Thanks for sharing. Glad you made that drive before the snow piles up…and I hope it does!

    BTW, have you ever had any conversations with your local friends about Dan Fogelberg and his time owning a ranch in that area? One of my favorite artists.

    Enjoy that snow!
