Snowshoe Taos and Taos Lodging over the Holidays

Most downtown Taos lodging is nearing full capcity for the holidays. We called around last week checking the others availability and found that most hotels were from 85 to 95% reserved from the 26th thru the 2nd. Fortunately, Indian Hills Inn, Taos Plaza still has a few rooms during those dates. Many of the further out hotels are also nearing full.

Price wise, the holidays are always a time for higher rates. Yet Taos in general is much more affordable than any other ski aea around. Some Colorado ski are motels are from $200 a night to who knows the top. Taos does have rooms over $200 but very few and then just a little over $200. Indian Hills Inn, Taos Plaza remains amongst the most affordable downtown in any resort. Holiday rates are yet from $139 for a single.

Some folks want other outdoor activities while visiting Taos. Snowshoeing popularity has been growing over the last few years. Taos Snowshoe Adventures is a part the Llama Adventure and is now offering witner excursions from beginner 2 hours to full day snowshoe trips. As usual for them, the trips are professionally guided and Guests are loving the experience. It is another great means of Experiencing Life at a Higher Level in Taos! Check out their web site: http://www.snowshoetaos.com./

Several local firms offer snow mobile tours for another added wineter Taos experience. Ask at the front desk or check our web site. I think we've listed a couple providers on the site.

A drive tour around the surrounding areas offers incredible vistas during all seasons. Winter mountains are my favorite. Dress with preparedness in mind and drive safely. A trip around the Enchanted Circle is always fun, over to Raton is beautiful, down to Las Vegas (the old LV, not new), over to Ojo Caliente hot springs, down to Los Alamos, or even to Santa Fe are avenues for you to see more of Northern NM while you visit Taos.

Rates this week at Indian Hills Inn, Taos Plaza are still very reasonable ranging from $79 a night for a single. We'll do a multi night special of Pay 3 Nights, the 4th is FREE. The holiday rates increase on the 26th and return to lower rates Sunday January 3, 2010. January rates begin at $69 with lower rates for longer stays. As usual, we invite weeklies from as little as $305 single. Visit us soon at www.newmex.com/indianhillsinn. Then call to reserve to 800-444-2346.
