This summer, if you're driving the Enchanted Circle, consider a half day detour for some of the most beautiful scenery in Northern New Mexico. Valle Vidal will provide you with a scenic drive, streams, mountains, meadows and hiking like nowhere else on earth.

You can make it an all day adventure. Just go north from Taos to Costilla, just before the Colorado border. Take a right and go through the town of Amalia. You'll wind along the river, while viewing some beautiful mountain and valley scenery. There are so many great places in Valle Vidal to pull over and take a walk, whether it's up the side of a mountain, through a meadow or along some amazing trout streams. Keep it forever pristine by supporting the Coalition for the Valle Vidal.
