About Taos iPhone/iPod App

If you look at the left sidebar of the site, you'll see an iPhone screen shot of my just-released About Taos app. I want to work on it, add photos and videos, etc. But, it's a great app right now, and it's FREE.

There are hundreds of photos and several videos of Taos and the Enchanted Circle. There are also RSS feeds for my Taos news and real estate alerts, and more. It's a fun app, and if you didn't catch it before...it's free! Go get the app today!  You can also get it by clicking this image.

Even better, as I take new photos, they're added to a great mapping site, and you can view maps by items of interest in the Taos area.  As each map has the links to the others at the top, I'll just take you here to the Taos Arts Map as an example.  All are easily accessed from the Maps tab at the top of every page.  You can zoom, change map type, and mouse over the icons or the images for more information.

I'm trying to map every hotel, motel, b&b, business, building, restaurant, gallery, studio, horse trail, hiking trail and campground in the Enchanted Circle area.  To do that, I need to take a photo at the site, but I don't mind, and it's free.  I want this to be the best site on the Web for Taos area information.  So, if you have a business or favorite location you want mapped, email it to me, and I'll move it up higher on the list.  These maps will get more on them as quickly as I can take the photos.

It's all of the wonderful sights, activities and natural beauty right off the main road when you drive the Enchanted Circle. The top map will show you a photo, as well as allow you to link to the full image on Flickr and leave a comment about the place or image. The Google Earth map will help you with terrrain if you're planning a hike or other outdoor activity.

It's a long article that takes in everything from the baths, to hiking and places to stay.

If you’re seeking little-trafficked trails and beautiful country, pay a visit to Valles Caldera National Preserve (main gate: Highway 4, Mile Marker 39.2; 505-661-3333; www.vallescaldera.gov). The Coyote Call and Valle Grande hiking trails are free.

Between Angel Fire and Mora, this state park is well-maintained and provides hook-ups and tent sites. The stream has numerous pools, so fishing is good, even if you like to do it the easy way from a chair...like me.

There is a day use fee, and a camp host during the summer, so please pay on the way in. There were people fishing on the first Sunday in June, and they had caught a few small trout. It's a calming and beautiful place just to spend a day and picnic. There is a playground as well.

We missed feeding time, but you might want to call them at 575-387-2254 to make sure you can get in on the fun of feeding. We also arrived right after they had finished shearing, so the video shows a bunch of very smooth animals.

Their gift shop is filled with great things related to and made from alpaca fiber. The video pans through the gift shop, and then we see the animals. Notice when I get too close to the large white one, the ears.

I think I just don't like to rehash that time of my life. However, in driving the Enchanted Circle this Memorial Day weekend, I wanted to video the crowds. There were many bikers at the memorial.

As I was a helicopter door gunner, the Huey H Model was an interesting exhibit. Watch the video to get a short tour if you've never been here. If you have, you can refresh your memory or just people-watch.
