Angel Fire is an ACTIVE part of the Taos area and the Enchanted Circle.

The too have activities scheduled many weekends.  Plus there are numerous other Circle sights and places to enjoy while in and around Taos.  As the mountain colors begin their annual golden show, the Circle and Angel Fire are good choices for more vistas.  Eagle Nest lake and the Viet Nam Veterans Memorial State Park are must sees when you visit the area.

Here's the link to the Angel Fire promotion page - http://campaign.r20.constantcontact.com/render?llr=d9kqn7cab&v=001VK-ta8v4JpW1W03trItnCuk2Ubf2dd4ysHYZ2Y3sclq34W5132KwN4d5v6yOTgsNgTCb2lZBvBNF5nNa2h8ob3-_6SJJXMLBRQSIXu0zl4zmNsA_xoSg_w%3D%3D

Along with the Taos Fall Art Festival, you'll find that Indian Hills Inn always offers some of the best values, best Guest service, awesome convenient location, and clean comfort in the area.  Our team of Associates is proud of the number of referrals and repeat Guests who've decided to visit us and Taos again this last few months.

Our Taos Fall Art Festival Special is 3 nights for $159 for a single and $174 for two Guests.  That's about a 25% discount from normal single night rates.  I promise, we will keep you busy enjoying the area for those 3 nights...easily!  Fact is, you may prefer a couple of added nights to cover the area better.

Hope you'll consider "liking" our Facebook biz page, following us on Twitter, following this blog site.  I also invite you to become a friend on my Facebook page but I am rather political this year...be forewarned :-)  Our prime marketing effort for 2010 is Facebook.  We are enscounced in seeking and earning referrals from both Taos area folks, New Mexico friends, and Guests from around the world.

We're just 2 blocks South of historic Taos Plaza, a block South of McD's, and across from Smith's Grocery and Gas (best gas prices around Taos).  You can also buy your spouse a bouquet at Enchanted Florist, relax in a Yoga class at Santosha Yoga, and book a raft trip at Los Rios River Runners, all right here at Indian Hills Inn, Taos Plaza.

Remember, this week was Constitution Day.  Reading it is rather instructive.  Might even make you questions some of our governments decisions.
