The Orilla Verde Recreation Area is located within the Rio Grande Del Norte National Monument and along the Rio Grande Wild and Scenic River. Gentle waters with occasional small rapids flow through Orilla Verde, providing an ideal setting for many recreational activities. Because of the dramatic changes in elevation and the diversity of plant life, Orilla Verde draws many species of animals, including raptors (such as eagles and hawks), songbirds, waterfowl, beaver, cougar, ringtail, mule deer, and more. The Rio Grande also has attracted humans since prehistoric times. Evidence of ancient peoples is found throughout the Recreation Area in the form of petroglyphs on the rocks and many other types of archaeological sites.

This route is a breathtaking way to travel between Taos and Santa fe, winding through remote mountain villages with strong Spanish Colonial roots. The path will also take you to Chimayó, home of the famous El Santuario de Chimayó, a Roman Catholic church known for its mystical powers inspiring the yearly pilgrimage of thousands.
Travel time without stops is 2-1/2 hours, but take it slow for the real experience.

This is the most amazing scenic drive heading west out of Taos. Take 64 west over the Rio Grande gorge bridge and just keep going. You’ll go through Tres Piedras and into the national forest, then on to Hopewell Lake. For the most dramatic scenery, though, continue all the way to Tierra Amarilla for views overlooking the Brazos cliffs and the entire western part of the state. Watch for ranchers herding livestock over the road at certain times of the year. Fall colors will blow your mind. The pass is often closed in winter.
