from eagle's nest you continue climbing and drive into taos canyon and an entirely different climate. as the scenery changes so does the wildlife... it was fairly rainy for most of this part of the drive, between that and the windy canyon roads i didn't take that many pictures. it's funny though, as you drive down into taos, you can easily pick out the mountain dwelling, beat-to-shit truck driving, locals and the oh-not-on-the-leather through traffic. of course, i'm pretty sure in this case i fell into the latter category.
taos is a small, low-lying collection of stucco houses and shops. the narrow streets were bustling with people and traffic even in the spring rain. i stopped for some pinon nuts at a road-side stand advertising theirs were the best in NM. they were good, but not having any basis on which to judge, i can't say if they held up to their vendors claims. so again, on i went with more miles left than i cared to ponder. again i headed up, climbing from taos into more uncharted territory.
