- 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.

Ive made that drive and its incredibly beautiful. Its certainly worth the trip
It really is beautiful- views for days!!!
We'll be going next month in October, love the clouds.
Taos is so beautiful- ESPECIALLY in October!!!
This canyon is gorgeous. Kayaking or rafting on the Rio Grande would be awesome. The Rio Grande Gorge visitor center looks informative. It is sad to think about suicides here. I am glad they put the Crisis Hotline callbox there. The views from the bridge are so beautiful. The bridge itself even has a really cool look to it. Thanks for taking us along!
Thank you so much, this area is so beautiful and it has been many years since I visited. If you ever raft the 'Taos box' you can go under the bridge! I did it many years ago when I was younger and more adventurous!! :-)
Wow! Great descriptions and information. Loved the music and beautiful footage at 3:30
Thank you very much! This is a gorgeous area!!
Your videos are stellar...you're not trying to sell anything; just straight honest talk. And you answer all the questions that come up in a viewer's mind as we listen: location, altitude, ticket costs, getting parking validation. We're leaving mid-September (2023) to see the "tri-cities" as I call them (Alb; S.F.; Taos) and now we know about wonderful places you've shown that we definitely would have driven right past. Well done! Keep up the good work!
Now, do you have an "in" on the line where I can order up some nice warm days and cool, clear nights?? Pleeezzzz?? :)
Thank you so much! Visiting in Sept? I can almost guarantee warm days and clear cool nights. The weather should be great!👍
@@SwiftyTravels That's what our AirBNB host said yesterday, too: "decent" was his word. I'll take it! Thank you!
This is exactly the kind of trip that I would love to do!! Must be so amazing with so many amazing landscapes passing by! 😁🙌🏻
This is such a beautiful area! I just love these landscapes!!
Wow. I see the fall color did not disappoint! I think Glenn managed to see some this week on his trip but here in the valley it's the same as always. 😅 That gorge is gorgeous! (Ba-dum-ching!) We're there with you too... no drone but really would love to have one. That would indeed be a spectacular place to get some footage with one. Loving this trip so far!
Thanks so much! This area of New Mexico is just so pretty!!! Angel Fire, where I went last year for leaves in the fall is very close. (Sorry to hear you didn't get to go on the latest adventure with Glenn!)
The drive to Taos along the Rio Grande is beautiful. I enjoy this section of New Mexico. The gorge is really neat to check out and so worth a stop. I was fortunate to fly my drone there once and you are right, it is a great spot. Thanks for taking us along.
Those people filming also had a drone! What amazing views you could get with that! It would be fun to fly it under the bridge! Such a beautiful area. Thanks for watching!
@@SwiftyTravels that is what I did was fly underneath the bridge and down the canyon. It was really cool. Have a great day.
I went today from Albuquerque!! It was beautiful. Interestingly enough there was absolutely zero wind today 😂
Nice!! Its such a beautiful time of year!!! Thanks for your comment!!
Looks like a great place ! 👌 Wonderful landscape and some dramatic views...Beautiful Tour you made 👍👏
Glad you enjoyed it! This is a beautiful area to explore!
Your videos are so well done with the maps, description, and time lapse. I cam tell how much time you spend editing your videos. NM is so pretty. I remember Natural Born Killers, that movie was so crazy. So sad about all that suicides on that bridge. Thanks for taking us around.
Thanks for checking it out! I really appreciate your comment. I really enjoy video editing I wish I had more time!!!
@@SwiftyTravels I know what you mean.
I was there in 83 and there was a smashed car at the rivers edge below the bridge, did that get removed?
I don't think that car is still down there, I wonder how they removed it??
Hi we are visiting tomorrow, do we need to pay toll for Rio Grande Bridge to pass?
No its free!
@@SwiftyTravels thank you for reply. Also I'm looking for recommendations to spend 31st eve in Albuquerque, do you have any recommendations?
@@Minal50 I’m really not sure because I’m not a nightlife person. My first inclination is Sandia casino & resort it’s really nice.
It’s so open and flat! You don’t really see that where we live!
out here in the desert you can see for miles and miles!! Thanks for watching!
You don't need professional gear. You make great films with what you have! Good to see you exploring nature again.
Thanks so much :-) I can't buy any new gear until my hobby can pay for it!!!
