Taos, New Mexico, is a small, relaxed community of people, some of whose ancestors have been living in the area for over 1000 years. Taos is located between the headwaters of the Rio Grande River and the base of the Sangre de Cristo range of the southern Rocky Mountains. Taos is internationally famous for its local art scene, interesting shops, museums and galleries. Restaurants in the area are renowned for their creative interpretation of the local cuisine. Downhill skiing and now snowboarding are available at the Taos Ski Valley, 20 miles (32 km) away. There will be complimentary transportation from the conference center to the Taos Ski Valley each day. If you have your own vehicle you can also visit Red River or Angel Fire Ski areas for skiing, snowboarding or cross-country skiing.
