Culture & Travel: Autumn Glory
By Jill Fergus
Oprah print and online "O Magazine", September 2008
For some, it's a beloved fall ritual: a drive through the countryside to ooh and aah over the changing foliage. For others, staring at leaves is about as exciting as watching dew dry. Wherever you are on the spectrum, these four weekend destinations offer enough local color to keep everyone stimulated...Destination Three: Taos, New Mexico -- Luminaries from Georgia O'Keeffe to D.H. Lawrence have been attracted to Taos, which sits in the shadow of the Sangre de Cristo mountains and is home to striking adobe architecture and an abundance of galleries....See the complete Taos piece, including photos, at O Magazine.

Into the Wild: Horseback Safaris and Other Animal Adventures
by Ted Botha
National Post, July 8, 2008
When Mark Twain traveled by donkey through Spain, it was 1878. And despite myriad innovations in transportation since then, author Tim Moore did it more than 125 years later. Why? Just take a look at his book: "One Man and His Ass on a Pilgrimage to Santiago." In a world where it's child's play to reach any destination with a passport and plane ticket, donkeys and other beasts of burden can still carry us where
mechanized vehicles fail to reach...in the Western Hemisphere, a different breed of beast is employed for uphill treks. Wild Earth Llama Adventures leaves out of Taos, N.M., for a day or longer in the Rocky Mountains....see complete article at NationalPost.com.

Find the Real New Mexico
by Matthew Jaffe
Sunset Magazine, October 2007
There was an autumn 10 years ago when I was ready to move to Taos. I had made friends here and fallen hard for hikes in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains by day and raucous conversations over margaritas by night in Taos's de facto living room, the Adobe Bar...
Now I'm back in another fall, this time with my wife, Becky, and all the old sensations of Taos come alive again. The cottonwoods are aglow, clad in October gold. Their leaves shimmy in the breeze, fluttering to the ground where they tumble down the street and crunch underfoot.
Lured by the promising twilight, we head to San Francisco de Asis Church, an 18th-century structure that, thanks to Ansel Adams and Georgia O'Keeffe, became a modern art icon... — Read full story at sunset.com or at Sunset Magazine archive.

14 Secrets of the Southwest

National Geographic Adventure Magazine, March 3, 2008
#7...you can bring a sommelier and RAFT In STYLE
The classic three-day raft trip between El Vado and Abiquiu on the airbrushed Chama River (think multicolored sandstone canyons, old-growth ponderosa stands, and meadows blazing with purple asters) hardly needs an infomercial-style bonus offer. But act now and Taos-based Los Rios River Runners will arrange for an astronomer, archaeologist, gourmet chef, sommelier, local-lore storyteller, yoga instructor, or -- new for 2008 -- herbalist to accompany its guests... --Read full story at NationoalGeographicAdventure.com

Welcome to New Mexico. Now Create
By Jori Finkel
The New York Times, January 27, 2008
From a distance they looked like any other tourists at the Taos Pueblo in New Mexico, trudging through a muddy, slushy January landscape in black boots and black parkas with cameras and video cameras in hand. But from the snatches of conversation you could tell they were artists of one sort or another... -- Read full story at nytimes.com.
