Viet Nam Veterans Memorial State Park upcoming activities
Imagine yourself at 8,000 feet above sea level. Picture yourself located in a large mountain valley. What if there were virtually no "city" lights to dull out the satrs?
That's what you get June 12, 2010 at 8:30 PM at the Viet Nam Veterans Memorial State Park. Pray for clear skies. Bring WARM clothing. Brin your binoculars or telescope. View the night sky through their telescope. Learn how to find constellations and planets.
Again, bring wqarm cloths. Dim your car lights as you approach the visitor center.
The VVM State Park is also offering guided tours and range talks on Saturdays and Sundays June through August. Saturdays at 11 AM and 2 PM, Sundays at 11 AM.
For more details call them at 575-377-2293.
The Park is on the Enchanted Circle about 25 miles East of Taos on US 64. Frankly, it's hard to do all there is to see and do on the 100 mile Enchanted Circle in a day. No, it is NOT possible to do it all in a single day. That's why you need to plan your vacation this year for at least several days in Taos. Give us the chance and we'll send you home marveling at the sights and experiences and history and culture and art of the entire Taos area. That's North Central NM, Taos is the headquarters for your stay.
Indian Hills Inn, Taos Plaza is your home away from home. Great downtown Taos location, clean and confortable quality rooms, above and beyond service qualaity, all at reasonable prices. Check out and follow and like our Facebook, Twitter, blog pages. Mention you've done all that and we'll offer you our 3 night special package for $159 for a single. Note, that's $53 a night. Or a 1 night stay for $59 single. You'll not likely find such values at any other Taos lodging. Maybe out in the middle of nowhere. Maybe at a hostel. We're building this internet social networking buzz. Hope you'll help us out by doing the above and passing the idea out to your family and friends.

Enchanted Circle Gateway Museum, Eagle Nest
The Enchanted Circle has another museum of note that offers visitors another view of the history and culture of the North Central Sange de Christo Mountains. This one highlights the area's mining and rail road history and showcases some interesting "green" building technology. They are in the midst of constructing a new facility while simultaneously fundraising.
The museum tells the story of mining in the Moreno valley which has a rich history back to the late 1800's. They also direct visitors to gold panning excursions out of Red River on a seasonal basis. The excursions are part of the museum's fund raising program.
Here's a link to their website: http://www.gatewaymuseum.org/uploads/GatewayMuseumBrochure.pdf . From there, they have a link to their brochure. Call for their schedule and more information: 575-377-1504. Their email is info@gatewaymuseum.org.
The Enchanted Circle is a great day trip out of Taos. We've posted a number of blogposts about the Circle and related sights. This is just another example of interesting things to see and do while you are in Taos. It's another reason why you need to plan more than just a day or two in Taos. Give me a week and we'll keep you well entertained.
Make your home in downtown Taos at Indian Hills Inn, Taos Plaza. You'll be centrally located in the heart of Taos. You'll sleep like a baby in our memory foam mattress topped queen and king size beds. You'll enjoy a simple continental breakfast while you wander the net with our WIFI system. Our front desk team is amongst the best "tour guides" in the Taos area. Let them know what you like and they'll direct you to the routes, places, and activities.
Visit our web site for more information: www.newmex.com/indianhillsinn. Then call direct for best rates: 800-444-2346. Ski you in Taos!

Taos Area Tourist Attractions
The State Parks of Moreno Valley just sent a newsletter out that might be of interest to some of our readers.
Elk migrate to lower elevations for winter. They are often sighted around the South side of Eagle Nest Lake, around Ute Park, and other Enchanted Circle areas. Large herds are often seen above Tolby Campground and can be easily seen from the highway. That is part of Cimarron Canyon State park, along US 64, just East of Eagle Nest, along the Cimarron River. For those staying in Taos, a drive to Cimarron is well worth the day needed for a good overall viewing. For those arriving from the East or departing that direction, plan some extra time to enjoy the many sights along that path! Here's their web site: http://www.emnrd.state.nm.us/PRD/CimarronCanyon.htm.
Eagle Nest State Park is undergoing continued improvements. The new visitor center is being well enjoyed by visitors, the parking lots are much improved over prior years, and the highest elevation Polar Bear plunge is scheduled for, you guessed it, January 1, 2010. This second annual affair includes registration at 10 AM at the visitor center, the plunge at 11 AM at the North boat ramp, an after the splach bash at Laguna Vista Saloon, and a Snowman building conteststarting at 3:30 PM in and around town. BTW, I will not be participating! More information at: http://www.emnrd.state.nm.us/prd/EaglesNest.htm.
They also want to remind folks that sun screen is an absolute MUST around the Enchanted Circle. The sun's intensity increases by up to 60% at 10,000 feet over sea level. That means you should either bring or buy a high SPF sun screen and remember sun glasses too.
The Viet Nam Veterans Memorial is also undergoing vast improvements. Part of the work involves expanding the gift shop to almost double the old space. A new theater is also being added. If you're haven't been, you must plan time for a visit to this historic facility. I've personally sent many Guests over the years and have yet to hear a single complaint or negative comment about me insisting they visit the memorial. Visit their web site: http://www.emnrd.state.nm.us/PRD/VietnamVets.htm.
Frankly, you can make exploration of the Enchanted Circle more than a day trip from Taos. Specially if you add the Philmont Scout Ranch which I've posted earlier. In any event, we hope you make Indian Hills Inn, Taos Plaza your headquarters for these and other Northern NM adventures. Email us any questions.

Enchanted Circle & Eagle Nest Lake Visitor Center
I've probably talked about the Enchanted Circle before but it is one of the reasons people visit Taos. If the 100 mile route isn't in your plans, stay a day longer and take the drive! Taos North towards Questa, maybe a stop at Millicent Rogers museum, maybe a visit to the Rio Grande Bridge, add a side trip to Wild & Scenic Rivers.
Then off the Red River. There's always things to see and do in Red River. From Questa, drive East and you can't miss Red River. Coming up, October 2-4, 2009, is the Days of 1895, a celebration of Red Rivers gold mining history. Their 5th Annual Octoberfest is October 9-11, 2009. Get more details at http://www.redrivernewmexico.com/ or phone the Chamber at 575-754-2366.
Continue your driver to Eagle Nest. On the way, a stop at Elizabethtown might be in order. It a historical town but now a ghost town. Newest feature of Eagles Nest is the State Park Visitors Center. One of the first visitor centers anywhere to be zero net energy, it generates as much power as it uses through solar photovoltaic panels and a vertical wind turbine. Plus it's very well built with extra insulation, natural lighting design, and passive solar. The building features interpretive exhibits, a classroom, administrative offices, and a pavillion looking out at Wheel Peak (New Mexico's highest, 13,166).
The Viet Nam Veterans Memorial is at Angel Fire and an absolute MUST see on your trip around the Enchanted Circle. Dry eyes are usually not found at this historical, honoring, and educational center.
Angel Fire Resort just finished a $20 million golf club plus numerous other village improvements. Summer and winter, you'lll find much to see and do.
Thinking of doing Taos in a day? Honestly can't be done. Do your self a favor and book a few nights at Indian Hills Inn, Taos Plaza. We're your "tour guides" for North Central NM. The above ideas are just a few thoughts to expand your Taos Experience. Visit us at www.newmex.com/indianhillsinn or call 800-444-2346 for more ideas.
