The high road to Taos
from Santa Fe is both scenic and culturally enlightening. It passes through
several small communities where rustic old buildings and classic missions
still stand. It is the slow route - don't take this road if you have a
deadline to meet.
The photographs in this
photo tour were taken in early summer of 2006 and late winter of 2007.
They highlight the historical buildings and scenic splendor of the High
Road to Taos. Related links for the High Road to Taos are listed near the
bottom of this page.

"Sacred Heart Church"
Nambe, New Mexico
Although this mission-style
church is not all that old compared to many of New Mexico's old missions,
dating back to the 1940's, it stands as an impressive site in Nambe, at
the start of the High Road to Taos.

"The Mission at Chimayo"
Chimayo, New Mexico
The Santuario de Chimayo
Mission has been called " The Lourdes of America." It is visited by thousands
of believers each year, seeking the so-called healing powers of the dirt
found in the sanctuary.

"Truchas Landscape"
Truchas, New Mexico
A dilapidated barn near
the roadside adds just the right touch of antiquity to the approach to
the quaint old town of Truchas where many artists have now established
their studios.

|
"San Jose Mission"
Las Trampas, New Mexico
There's not much else
in Las Trampas, but this old mission church, which dates back to the 18th
century, stands as a monument to the town's history.

NOTE:
because I have several photo journal web sites containing several hundred
images, it is important to reference both the title of the web site (in
this case: Go New Mexico Photo Journal) and the title of the image (as
it appears above the image on the individual image page) when inquiring
about print orders.
