This 84-mile loop takes the visitor though some of New Mexico’s spectacular high country. Much of the Byway traverses land formerly part of the Maxwell Land Grant, once the largest private individual holding in the western hemisphere. See ghost towns, ski resorts, and landscapes that have inspired artists from film makers to writers. Begin and end the journey in historic Taos.
