Taos New Mexico Rio Grande Gorge. Located appx. 85 miles N of Santa Fe, N.M. Taos, N.M. is famous for its blend of artists, spiritual communities, Spanish/Mexican/Indian Arts/Cultures, and much more. There is said to be a spiritual vortex located in and near Taos and when newcomers arrive they learn of Taos Mtn. This special Mtn is located in the Tiwa pueblo and it about 10 miles N of the Taos Plaza. Locals say that the Mountain will either 'Accept you' or not. This means that some people move here and are transformed, their lives improve and they flourish. if you are not accepted, you have a very hard time; unable to find a job, a nice place to live, etc. Taos has a huge artist community with dozens of galleries and free-representing artists in the area. This is a great place to find Southwestern art at reasonable prices. Buy from the artist, as most galleries take 40 - 70% of the price of the work.

Taos is home to many different Christian churches, pagan groups, various Native American centers and tribes, Buddhist communes, and more.

Taos welcomes all regardless of your different-ness....
