Taos, New Mexico Part 2



Taos was just gorgeous.



We had some really lovely dinners.



We entertained ourselves by running up the pyramid next door.



Visited the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge. Long way down! We watched some rafters pass along the river below, it looked like a blast.



We followed the trail around the edge of the gorge to look back on the bridge. This cantilever truss bridge is the second highest in the United States at 650 feet above the river. When cars pass over it it sways and rumbles.



Later that day we frolicked among dandelions, indulged in a second helping of ice cream, crossed streams to climb trees and crashed a gallery opening to drink their wine.



We left later that night after some of the best pizza I think I've ever had. We made our way back to Albuquerque in the dark so that we could make the Sandia Tram early the next morning and also to break apart our long return trip. It would have been wonderful to stay one more night, but I greatly appreciated the shorter drive home the next day.
