Memorial Day at Viet Nam Veterans Park will be perhaps the biggest weekend in history. Activities include 4 speakers, the artist in residence talks, 2 bands for 3 concerts, the ribbon cutting for the remodeled visitor center, the traditional candle light vigil May 30 at 7 PM, The Flag at 9 AM on the 31st, and Memorial Day Ceremopny at 11 AM on the 1st. Plan a little extra time as the Moreno Valley will be crowded and busy. Ride safely! If you're driving, watch for the bikes! Details at 575-377-1594 or www.nmparks.com or www.angelfirefun.com.
A reminder, Memorial Day weekend is always busy in and around Northern NM. I suggest you reserve now to avoid wandering helter skelter looking for a last minute room.
After a short out of town trip, may I remind you that Indian Hills Inn, Taos Plaza still offers affordable phone calls at $.50. Some big city hotels charge as much as $2 when you dial from that bedside phone. Internet service cost $14 a day at most big city big property hotels. We're still giving it away. We'll gladly send a fax for you at $2 the first page and $1 for added pages. Our hotel charged $8 for the first page. Want a fridge in big town USA, it'll cost as much as $25 a night. Indian Hills Inn, Taos Plaza, the cost is $10 a night. The end result, that big city hotel charges from $100 to $500 a night with an average of about $200. Indian Hills Inn, Taos Plaza will welcome you for about a third to half those big city rates.

Cumbres & Toltec Scenic RR Starts May 22, 2010
It is almost that time of year, Cumbres & Toltec Scenic RR begins regular narrow guage steam powered train trips from Chama, New Mexico to Antonito, Colorado Satuday, May 22, 2010. If you've been on the trip before, you will enjoy again. If you've always wanted a steam powered museum ride, let's plan that trip now, today! The season runs to October 17, 2010.
Although they offer a number of differing trips, my advice is to plan to stay in Taos the night before and after your planned trip. Although all trips are quite enjoyable, the most enjoyable trip for steam enthusiasts is #3. That trip involves driving to Antonito, Colorado, about a hour and a half from Taos. Leave Taos by about 6:30 AM. Collect your tickets at the station in Antonito around 8 AM. This ride includes lunch at Osier.
Cumbres will motorcoach you to Chama at about 8:30 AM. You'll arrive with time to catch the 10 AM departure from Chama. The key reason for choosing trip #3 is that the steepest grade on this route is from Chama to Osier. The museum steam engine will huff and puff it's way up towards Cumbres pass. With big days, they sometimes double head the train with two steam engines. The old work horses will impress even the none train fans.
Check out their web site for far more details than appropriate in this blog. Here's the link: http://www.cumbrestoltec.com/.
If you'd like us to help you schedule your trip and make the arrangements, call the hotel. We'll make your hotel and train reservation. Our Room & Ride package is two nights lodging and the train ride for $265 for a single and $370 for two. The rate is plus tax and requires prepayment.
You may also book your room seperately and the train directly with them. There are a couple upgrades for the train which you may review either with us or on their web site. There are also specials and special trips that are listed on their web site.
We'll also gladly organize more activities for your Taos visit such as rafting, hot air balloon ride, Llama Trip, golf, or self guided tours and drives. We're your Taos Lodging Connection.

Cumbres & Fall Colors & Muder Mystery?
If you love fall colors, if you enjoy trains, if you look forward to great entertainment, Cumbres & Toltec is your venue! Indian Hills Inn, Taos Plaza has been a long time supporter of Cumbres & Toltec Scenic RR. Cumbres is a steam powered, 1880's rolling museum that travels from Chama to Antonito crossing the NM - Colorado border nmumberous times. Cumbres is the 10,000 foot mountian pass the train climbs to from each end.
For those who enjoy fall colors, love to photo great scenery, Cumbres offers awesome vistas of trees beginning their journey from summer greens to fall colors. As you wind your way up the tracks, you'll be amazed at the great Kodak moments around every bend of the twisty narrow guage train.
If you want a murder mystery experience on board, Cumbres offers that dinner theater play trip October 2, 2009. Here's the details. http://campaign.constantcontact.com/render?v=001VYL78RL2HxfhHQsCU26Z2cXaPwp-PhXwkGL1wQEKFdZxSZdJ38vjJpzfOwIAXdtGSKqfa0m13rzbAaLXfZzC_t28DmvJrsBJJijLt1btCu9jL7TD1NHvSLNmMsjPdWaPaedWwzyngFs%3D
If you choose the day time trip, my suggestion is to stay with us in Taos (of course). Organize your tickets the day before to make certain they have space available. Arise early, drive to Antonito, pick up your tickets, and enjoy the day!
IMPORTANT! In my opinion, you want to take the trip that busses you to Chama first and returns to Antonito by train. I believe it's trip 3. Why? First, it's easier to drive to Antonito early in the AM than to Chama. Second, you want to take the train out of Chama because that grade is the steepest climb on the train and the engine really has it's work on that chug up the Cumbers pass.
Book your nights at Indian Hills Inn, Taos Plaza. You'll find us well located in downtown Taos about 2 blocks South of historic Taos Plaza. Guests are appreciating our memory foam mattress toppers, plush mattress pads, triple sheeting, and SW design comfortors. Our front desk team offers great Guest service almost like "tour guides". All of that and the most reasonable downtown rates in Taos. 800-444-2346 or visit www.newmex.com/indianhillsinn . Enjoy fall in the area around Taos!
