Experience Natural Wonders, Adventure, and More in Taos

While Taos is renowned as a skier's paradise, this delightful mountain town in the Southwest has much more to offer beyond its stunning alpine scenery. As the ancestral homeland of the Red Willow Tribe and a premier wellness destination, the area is rich in outdoor activities, including via ferrata, whitewater rafting, and mountain biking. At The Blake in Taos Ski Valley, an elegant 80-room guesthouse, carefully curated weekend packages focusing on adventure, wellness, and culture empower guests to uncover the best of Taos. Each package includes a three-night stay in a one-bedroom suite, all meals (with beer, wine by the glass, and house cocktails), a planned itinerary of activities, and a dedicated Experience Manager to guide your vacation.

Traveling with a group? The Blake’s roomy Penthouses, featuring two-story, three- or four-bedroom suites, are perfect for friends and families. Additionally, the 24 Blake Residences—situated in the village center, just steps from The Blake—offer the comforts of home with hotel amenities, along with easy access to local shops and restaurants. Whether you’re gathering multiple generations or just enjoying a getaway for two, here’s how to ensure a rewarding and personalized experience.

Set Out on an Alpine Adventure

Skiing isn't the sole way to immerse yourself in nature in Taos. With The Blake’s Adventure Elevated Experience, outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy an exhilarating weekend exploring the breathtaking landscapes of the Enchanted Circle. Test your skills on the Taos Ski Valley via ferrata, featuring beginner and intermediate routes, including a stunning 100-foot-long skybridge suspended 50 feet above the ground, along with some of the most recognizable rock faces on Kachina Peak. Join a guided hike or mountain biking adventure while discovering the rich history of the area.

For those who prefer aquatic adventures, let your Experience Manager set up an exhilarating whitewater excursion through the Class IV rapids of the renowned Taos Box or an afternoon of fly fishing for Rainbow, Brown, Brooks, and Rio Grande Cutthroat trout. After an action-packed day amidst the scenic beauty of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, unwind at The Blake’s Spa & Wellness Center or in the heated saltwater pool and hot tubs.

Experience healing and tranquility in the mountains

Explore relaxation and rejuvenation with The Blake’s Wellness Elevated Experience. Tailored around the resort’s Spa & Wellness Center, this itinerary incorporates healing practices from various cultures, including Hispanic and Native American traditions. Indulge in a massage, facial, or body treatment such as the Adobe Clay Wrap, revered by some Indigenous peoples for its detoxifying effects. Enhance your wellness with guided meditation and Hatha yoga, and reconnect with nature on restorative hikes through the stunning Sangre de Cristo Mountains.

Engage with arts and culture

Home to Taos Pueblo, the only living Native American community recognized as both a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a National Historic Landmark, Taos presents a unique chance to explore New Mexico’s rich heritage. With The Blake’s Culture Elevated Experience, discover the multi-storied adobe homes that have been inhabited for over a millennium, followed by a visit to The Millicent Rogers Museum, where you can view an extensive collection of over 1,000 years of Southwestern art, including Native American jewelry, pottery, and textiles.

Thanks to The Blake’s impressive museum-quality collection, you can delve into the region’s artistic legacy without leaving the resort. Enjoy a guided tour of the paintings, photographs, textiles, Navajo rugs, and Native American tools and artifacts displayed throughout the hotel. You'll also encounter works by members of the Taos Society of Artists, which played a key role in establishing Taos as a renowned arts hub, as well as pieces by New Mexico’s most iconic artist, Georgia O’Keeffe.
