Does anyone know Jim Henson's connection to Taos and why he chose to have his ashes scattered here? I just found this out the other day and curious to know more. On a separate occasion he requested that his ashes be hidden in an obscure muppet, don't know which of these is true but curious to know his connection to here.

Creature Comforts Affordable Pet Care is trying to provide mobile vet care, so urgently needed, to Taos. If you are able, donate to get this mobile clinic going!

An original oil painting inspired by the majestic mystery of Toas, New Mexico.

I'm highly shy, introverted and even with my years here in taos, my friends are limited to online. I do go out to events and the markets (farmers/winter) but usually don't make friends - Acquaintances, Great conversations but no friends. 32yrs old, shy and quirky, awkward but bubbly and bright

I like going to the gym, in the summer hiking and taking my dogs out to the park. I'll occasionally go to the farmer markets, john Dunn shops to window shop or go grab something to eat, like playing games online on Xbox too but awful at pvp Just like to make some friends along the way I can hang out with and not take it personal of my silent moments

I've tried going to the comedy shows, events at kit carson park, events in general and even the pueblos events, pow wows (fun!)

I’d be coming up from Albuquerque and can’t decide if it’s worth it.

Do you have someone in your family who loves gardening? Here's a cool gift idea I came across. Bonus points if they watch the TV show Alone because it was created by Nicole who's been on the show twice (if you haven't seen the show you should give it a try, it's an interesting concept).

It's a gardening kit with seeds for 10 different plants that can be used to make various herbal remedies. It also comes with a book written by Nicole where she goes over everything you can make with the plants from ointments and teas all the way to essential oils and infusions. It's not something you'd find in a normal store so it makes for a unique gift especially if the person you're buying it for is a fan of natural remedies.

I ordered a kit for my Mom's birthday earlier in the year and she was a massive fan of it. She now makes her grandkids sleepy tea before bed whenever they sleep over and always offers us some substance she makes from the feverfew if we complain about a headache. I think she's probably made every recipe in the book and it's only been 9 months.

Here's the link to the website if you want to check it out: https://medicinalkit.com/

having to choose between presby and blue cross. which one do you prefer?

I'm new to the area, so thanks in Advance!

Does anyone know the recipe for the corned beef hash they had at Taos Diner? Since they've all closed permanently I haven't been able to find any anywhere that's nearly as tasty.

We are coming up to Taos for the week of Thanksgiving and are looking for spots to hike. We are experienced hikers in the heat but have very little experience in the snow. We have good gear to hike and can handle hiking as much as 6+ hours in a day. What is a good somewhat challenging hike that we can do? Also, any recommendations for other things to do while in Taos?

Hello all! My wife and I are driving up to Taos from Ruidoso for two nights as a kid free getaway between Christmas and New Years next month. We live in Texas, and have never been to Taos before. Can anyone recommend inexpensive things to do/see/experience while we’re in town? Are they particular spots that you’d recommend for food and drink?

We do plan on spending plenty of time at the AirBnb, but we’re open to outdoor activities like hiking as well. We both enjoy art, history, live music and comedy. We don’t want to be obnoxious tourists, and we’re respectful towards everyone.

Thanks in advance, and have a great Thanksgiving!

I'm looking to propose to my girlfriend on a hike in the Taos area, possibly the Williams Lake Trail. I am trying to find a photographer to hike up and discreetly take some pictures of the proposal, and wanted to see if anyone had any good rec's. Thanks!

update: wanted to give some additional information in case someone is interested. this would be on December 7th around mid morning to noonish. thanks!

Does anyone know of a starlink installer in Taos ?

As a person who knows VERY little, been to Taos only once, yet found the land and area beautiful, can someone tell me about the area west of Taos near Kagyu Mila Guru Stupa?

And what the lland looks like and has to offer araround Sunshine Valley Road?

Any water, trees, wildlife, electrical nearby?

Any recs for professional help hanging a very large (3'x 6') print on a wall?

Your kind action toward my daughter and I brought this mama to tears, and I'm in tears again as I write this. You have reminded me about the compassion and kindness humans can and still have toward one another 💕 yesterday was a really good but also very tough day for my daughter (she ended the day having a CT scan and stitches at Holy Cross due to a basketball injury), but she is going to be ok and they are playing in the championship game today!! As I review all of the things we experienced together yesterday, you are such a huge part of what made our day together special and beautiful. If you or someone who knows you sees this, THANK YOU so very much 💓

Hello all. I need someone to help deadhead my perennials for winter. The person I was talking with isn’t available. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Looking to get some ski lessons for the wife and I at Sipapu before TSV opens, but they’re booked solid until December for their mountain-run-lessons. Any certified instructors offer private classes? Thoughts/suggestions/recommendations? Beginner to intermediate level

I’ve heard there’s up to 3 feet of snow on the Williams Lake trail heading up to Wheeler Peak right now. Is it feasible to hike there right now? Are there other people out there hiking up to the peak or is it kinda impossible at the moment?

Hey! My family and I are visiting Taos this Christmas and really want to go to the Pueblo for one of the events/ceremonies. Would you suggest the Procession of the Virgin Mary or the Deer/Matachina dance? For the dances, do you need to arrive when they begin or will the ceremony be going on all day? When do they determine which dance they will be doing? Thanks so much in advance!

There's tons of it around Seco. At first I thought this was set aside public land, but it's clearly not that as it's barbwired over, there's no trespassing signs, and there's cows on it. What I gathered is that if land is in the Land Trust, it can't be developed and the owner gets either no property tax or discounts. Supposedly it's for 'rural heritage' but this land looks like crap, it's crawling with prairie dogs and bindweed. What was the intent of the Taos Land Trust and how did it turn into this? It's an eyesore and promotes sprawl like none other.
