Taos,NM to Angel Fire, NM road over the mountain

Charles; You should not have any problem going Hwy 64 from Taos to Angle fire with the grade. The curves may make you dizzy! You will not be going very fast and cars will line up behind you but don't let that bother you. If you are going west into Taos, 64 can be a little more difficult. You might go back and look at Howard's listing about Taos maybe in late May or early June in about 2006. They stayed at a BLM site on the river about 15 miles south of Taos. It is much better than anything in Taos if you don't mind limited hookups. You will be back in the flat lands before you know it. Bob

Greetings from Buena Vista Colorado. Charles, we spent a Week in Red River at the Road Runner RV park, nice RV park. We also spent a Week in Taos at the Taos RV park. We did the enchanted circle several times. The road from Angel fire to Taos has many curves, but you will have no issue. The road from Angel fire to Taos you will have to go over Bob Cat pass, again you shouldn't have a issue. I would have no issue going either direction with our 2011 Chevy 3500HD DRWs pulling the 38' Mobile Suites. While in Angel fire I highly recomend you go and see the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, very humbling story there. And if you get into Pueblo Colorado make sure you go to the "Center for American Values". A must see if you want to discover information about all the Medal of Honor Holders. Its at the River Walk.... And its free and you can find parking there.. I might add if your in the Santa Fe New Mexico area its also very nice. But I must warn you its not dually friendly, however I took my dually there and had no issues, streets and parking is very tight. Have fun.. Happy Trails....

Thanks, we head to Taos today from Creede, Co. Guess that we will have to do more than our usual 100 miles (or less) perday.
Cold this am. Had the heat on.

I was just in Taos 2 weeks ago and did this drive on Hwy 64 to Angel Fire. Curvy, but no really memorable grades. The hardest part seemed to be making the tight downtown Taos turn onto Hwy 64!

I stayed at Taos Monte Bello RV Park out near the airport and the owners there were fabulous, sites were large, and had wonderful open views of the gorgeous sunrises and sunsets (and even rainbows!) that Taos is famous for. Have a great time!

Report on Taos to Angel Fire,
The road is slow and every curve leads directly into the next curve with many if not most speed limit of 20 mph so every climb is from a virtual stop, this for 24 miles. Only two straight aways of several hundred feet. I mentioned to THE WIFE, that of all the climbes to and from Alaska on this trip, with mile after mile of 10percent grades that this one, Taos to AF, was the hardest on the truck. Stayed in low gear most of the way up. It was proved to me on arrival in AF, burned almost a QUARTER TANK OF GAS.
It was NO problem though.
