$Hard to look away! 🌈 🌅 Did you know two people never see the exact same rainbow? You’re looking at your own personal version, built from droplets aligned just for your eyes. We tend to get the most in Taos during the summer monsoon, when afternoon storms + low sun = prime conditions. But this warm spring has already revealed thunderstorms and a few bows with the recent passing showers, temperature fluctuations and just enough clearing light to catch the angle at those magic Taos light times of day! Around 7pm, yesterday was lit! , - Rainbows form when sunlight meets raindrops at about 42° 📐 - Light bends as it enters each droplet (refraction), bounces inside (reflection), then bends again as it exits—splitting into the spectrum we see as color. - Every band has its own angle, which is why the arc stays perfectly ordered. - Why the double rainbow? A second arc only shows up when the light is strong and the raindrops are larger and more uniform for light to bounce twice inside them. That second internal reflection flips the color order and softens the intensity. 📷: @jackieinthewild #Taos #HighDesertLight #RainbowScience #NewMexicoTrue #DoubleRainbow$

Happy Easter from your high desert locals!

🌾🐇🐣💛

Lore first: Rabbits became symbols of spring + renewal thanks to their… enthusiastic reproduction rates. Nature’s original overachievers! 🤣😳

A few things you might not know about our local yard & driveway regulars (mostly Desert cottontail, with the occasional mountain cottontail mixed in):

🌅 Hop to it! Most active at dawn and dusk
🌿 Foragers at heart… grasses, wildflowers, and your garden. Keep your boxes elevated, the yard wild and you’re good to go!
👀💨 Freeze first, run later! “statue mode” is their go-to survival move but they’re built for burst speed zig-zag escape routes

One more Taos fun fact? Rabbitbrush 🌼 Not much of a snack for rabbits, but it lights up the high desert in late summer/fall and gives them great cover and heads into spring bright eyed and bushy-stemmed.

Last minute Easter Sunday plans:
🥚🧺 Eggstravaganza at Kit Carson Park (11:30am-2:30pm) with thousands of eggs, age-group hunts, games, and music

April Showers

🌧️🧶🐏

Blanketed skies, shades of grey! While some may mutter, “rain, rain go away,” we proclaim: BRING IT ON! Come again another few more days! As today’s showers satiate the parched soils, we are reminded that this longing for moisture is woven so deeply into our culture that its significance may be lost on many! It’s a kind of saturation that is life-blood here in @Taos.

Both the Churro sheep, grazing on tasty grasses and the fiber artists spinning and working their wool know saturation well — it gives dyed yard its depth, richness and staying power. The smell of wet earth is inviting and awakening! We know that to enter planting season with rain is a gift of summer colors soon to bloom in the ground and skies, and on the loom.

Down at @taoswools in Arroyo Seco, owner and dyer Joe Barry certainly has been busy stirring his pots in the new season having a good jumpstart on production. “This will be an easy transition to spring as we really didn’t have winter! It’s business as usual here, and I will continue to be dyeing yarn generally every Friday, weather permitting.”

New palettes are blooming across all the lines: the heathered Ten Greys in the Chica Series, pastel-inspired Montana Series Cormo lace, and the flowing gradations of the Rio Grande Series — including one-of-a-kind skeins from the pot at exhaust that can never be repeated.

Follow along with every fresh batch by signing up for Notes from the Dye Pots — the email form is front-and-center on the homepage at Taos Wools, where Joe shares new colors, weaving classes and festival news first.

Taos Wools also offers year-round weaving classes and a cozy casita for fiber retreats, just a short drive from the Ski Valley and all the green season activities to come.

📅 Upcoming fiber events
Arroyo Seco Fiber Fest: May 30–31
Taos Wools Festival: Oct 3–4

Rain on the mesa and teardrops clinging to piñon and ponderosa. Juniper berries swell and sparkle with delight! Springtime is finally coming to life 💦🐏🌲

🌸 First Hummingbird Sighting of the Season! 🌸

Last day of March?! A rare early visitation this morning and first log of 2026 to @team_ebird for Taos County, this Broad‑tailed Hummingbird is a sure sign that spring is moving through @Taos! 🐦💚 Returning from Mexico to breed in our foothills, these males arrive first to establish territory and secure the best feeding and nesting spots.

🌡️ Why early this year?
While day length cues migration, unseasonably warm temperatures have encouraged early blooms and insect activity, pulling hummers north sooner. Scientists have found that warmer temps and earlier plant blooms are shifting the seasonal calendar, which can sometimes cause hummingbirds to arrive before peak food resources are fully available — potentially creating a timing mismatch that can affect feeding and nesting success.

📊 Citizen scientists help track the timing and abundance of migratory birds across the globe. Your backyard sightings matter. Along with putting up feeders, consider logging your hummingbird visits on #eBird this spring to support science and conservation. (ebird.org)

💦Feeder tips
🍯 Mix 1 part WHITE sugar with 4 parts water until completely dissolved (honey and red dye are harmful!) Those stick whizzers do the trick from cold!
🧼 Clean feeders and refresh nectar every 3–5 days to prevent spread of disease and other harmful things from mucking up your clean solution… scrub thoroughly with hot water.
🌿 Hang feeders in plain view… Suction cup models can be fun for windows! We prefer a glass tank for its longevity and less plastic.

💡 Fun facts
🩷Males have a bright rose-red gorget (chin/neck) when light hits it, but otherwise appears black — a more surefire ID note is their metallic wing trill while hovering which you’ll hear recorded around 11:30am this morning before getting a visual.
🐛Broad-tailed Hummingbirds are often the first species to appear each spring, typically late March to April.

With showers in the forecast for tomorrow and early blooms at risk, now is the perfect time to put feeders out and help fuel these tiny migrants!✨

The Zone Ranger

⛑️🏔️🪏⛷️🪢

All is not lost this final weekend of the @skitaos season! What better way to wrap it up than a chat with one of our favorite mountain’s most beloved champions? A little centering, a shovel or two of wisdom that we could all probably use right now, from a mountain of a man who knows them well… @davehahn.climb.

DHB’s triumphs are well documented: 15 summits of Mount Everest, 39 climbs of Vinson Massif in Antarctica, and 25 Denali summits across 37 expeditions. And yet, he admits he cried (a lot!) when his dad dragged him into the mountains as a kid.

We all enjoy safe, fun Resort days with peace of mind that if things go south someone who knows what to do will be there to catch us. Ski Patrol is adept at making it all look effortless, and behind-the-scenes they’re prepared for everything — especially the unpredictable. Incidents evolve, conditions change and every day brings new dynamics that require quick thinking. One of the strongest tools in the kit is years of accumulated experience on mountain doing it all — and humor, according to Dave. Fortunately for all us, he has plenty of both!

After a lucky chance bumping-in-to on Kachina Peak last week, this master of many helmets was game to indulge us with reflections on 40 years of showing up in storms, those early mornings and the long arc of changing seasons. From superlatives to favorite snacks, we asked the longtime Taos local to share what he’s learned about the work, the people and what keeps him coming back for more.

Catch & Release

🎣

Ahhhh, spring on the Rio Grande. It starts small, a little less green, but quiet water and insects galore… a fly fisherman’s secret stash. And Cutthroat Flyfishing is biting!

Before peak runoff, trout in the Rio Grande Gorge settle into slower seams and eddies, conserving energy and waiting for food to drift their way. Early in the season, that food is mostly aquatic insects — and matching those hatches is what makes spring fishing so technical and rewarding.

What’s hatching now:
🦟 Midges are the most reliable early-season food source
🫒 Blue-winged olives, small mayflies, show up as days begin to warm and warm they have
🪨 Early stoneflies begin activity along the banks
🪶 Spring caddis build toward larger mid-April hatches

Owner and guide Steve Morris moved to Taos from Texas in 1977 and never left. You’ll relish hearing stories of his first visit as a boy was with his great uncle, a Ft. Worth Symphony musician who ventured west each summer. When not wandering the meander of local river, Steve cut a culinary journey of his own at Casa Cordova (where Saltos is today), then owned by legendary Swiss Taos Ski Valley ski instructor Godie Schutz, who hired professional European chefs. Working under Mogens Hansen, Steve discovered a love for desserts and baking! Hungry for more?

Plan a trip! Here’s what to know:
📍Where: Right now? Rio Grande and Rio Hondo. Looking ahead: Mid‑May is prime for Rio Costilla and other high-country waters, while Valle Vidal and upper stretches in the pristine Latirs are typically open July 1 onward to protect elk calving and spawning cutthroat — perfect for summer adventures!
🧑‍🏫 Skill level: Great for beginners and experienced anglers alike
🚗 Access: From short hikes to easy drive-up stretches and calm lakes
🗓️ Season: Spring through fall, with insect hatches guiding the action

Patio Season Popping!

🌸🪻🌼🍻🍕⛱️

Pink, purple, yellow… everything’s coming up dandelions at @taostaproom, and sundown was prime time yesterday.

The former art gallery transformed 10 years ago by the creative minds @henryarchitectstaos yielded this light-filled brew pub space and terrace, where arched steel ceilings, skylights and recycled materials meet 24 taps of #taosmesabrewing beer and wood-fired pies. Once you start exploring the rest of the menu, it’s hard not to stray from your usual order!

Look closely at the poured concrete countertop, and you’ll spot embedded found objects, bits of metal, tools, ravens and hot air balloons set right into the bar itself, a nod to @taosmothership’s love of salvaged materials and the beauty of the unexpected. When you slow down, little discoveries reveal themselves everywhere you look, just like @taos itself!

We love this time of year when patios fill with blooms and the buzz of spring, and golden hour lingers just long enough for one more round.

🌳 Unbeatable backdrop right now!
🥗 Regular specials, from soup to dessert
🍻 Open daily 12noon-9pm (Happy Hour 3–6pm, cider and wine, too!)
📺 TVs in the bar room tuned to March Madness and live sports
📱Order to-go 575.758.1900 x2 or online

Spring Takes Flight in Seco

🌄🌸🦌🐤

Bud break has arrived at the foothills! The Western Meadowlark’s marco-polo signals the orchards’ winter dormancy alarm clock.

First apricots, followed by plum, peach, pear, apple and cherry… 🌳🍑🍒🍏🍎🍐 The quiet cadence of our Northern New Mexico high desert bloom moving up the valley! Blink and you’ll miss it. But look once and listen, and you’ll notice it unfurl all season long.

Happy Equinox week from #Taos from the mule deer pine tip snippets and the magpie’s silvered flock winglets!
