The scenic byway offers a lot more than just the way to Santa Fe. April 15, 2021 This article is part of On the Road Again: A Texan s guide to road trips in Arkansas, Colorado, Louisiana, New Mexico, and Oklahoma. Before my first trip to New Mexico, for a writing conference when I was 24, I mistakenly imagined the Southwest to be one large desert. After flying from Houston to Albuquerque and embarking on the two-hour-plus drive to Taos, I couldn’t really comprehend the scene unfolding before me as I left one pueblo and entered another, the spaces between gloriously free of Targets and PetSmarts and Best Buys. The pink mountains rolled into silvery ones covered in pine trees, with mesas and gorges scattered between. I stayed outside Taos in the village of Arroyo Seco, where I spent too much money on a silver ring that held a piece of turquoise in its prongs and not very securely, as I’d find out.
