Rio Grande Gorge Road Trip to Taos New Mexico

In this video we are taking a road trip up the Rio Grande Gorge to visit Taos New Mexico. There are several scenic routes to Taos, and on this trip we are driving along what is known as the ‘Low Road to Taos’ which is highway 68 from Espanola and it follows the Rio Grande river. We’ll stop at the Rio Grande Gorge Visitor Center and make our way to the scenic Rio Grande Gorge Bridge.

There are two scenic routes to Taos from the Santa Fe area. These are coined the 'high road' to Taos and the 'low road' to Taos. In this video, I take the low road to Taos which follows the river along highway 68.

At the town of Pilar we stop at the Rio Grande Gorge Visitor Center to learn more about the recreational opportunities, history, and artifacts found in the area. Several rafting outfitters leave from this parking lot. This is also a great place to stop for the restroom!

Continuing on through Taos, the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge is located 11 miles NW of Taos on Highway 64. This bridge has been featured in several notable movies this was the place Mickey and Mallory were married in the 1994 film Oliver Stone movie: Natural Born Killers featuring Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis.
