Unless you really enjoy long car trips, do not take the high road to Taos. The trip took far too long and the views are much better on other routes.

I couldn't face driving back north on I-25 to Colorado, so I chose to drive from Santa Fe to Taos via the High Road, and home via San Luis and the La Veta Pass. The High Road to Taos is so pretty at this time of the year (May). I went to Espanola and turned right to go and visit...

This was the most serene and scenic drive. What a way to get out of the city and connect with the land of New Mexico.

Unbelievable scenery. A winding road, so if you get carsick you may want to avoid it. Stopped at several points along the way for pictures.

Winding road with nice vistas but riddled with shacks
and run down structures. A waste of 30 miles. The only
reason guide books direct must be for merchants we
couldn't locate due to the squalor surrounding them.

from Santa Fe to Taos! Spectacular...and stop at Sugar Nymphs in Penasco for amazing coffee and pastries

I actually enjoyed the other way, through Espanola, into Taos more. Beautiful canyons.

Beautiful drive and lots of fun to stop in artists homes and studios. All were very friendly and loved showing their wares. Bought some pieces but not from everyone, yet they all were friendly and informative even if you didn't buy.

It was a beautiful drive showing varying degrees of terrain. It went from flat and dry to high and lush. Many little towns and villages were located along the way. If you get car sick, you do not want to be in the back seat of a car...many winding roads in the mountains.
