-- THE LOCATION --
This area, locally known as the Old Blinking Light "OBL," is located at the "hub" of Route 64, 150, & 522. To this day, it still remains a local reference point decades after the traffic light went in.
No matter what outdoor sport you prefer, you'll be hard-pressed to find a landscape as perfect as Taos. Voted one of the 'Top 10 Outdoor Sports Locations' by Outdoor Magazine and 'Best Ski Town’ by USA Today, this New Mexican paradise has something for everyone.

Take a quick 5-mile ride to Taos Plaza and experience authentic Southwestern culture. Founded in 1796 this area offers delicious restaurants, great galleries, and top-notch nightlife. Stop by the Taos Mesa Brewery or the KTAO Solar Center for some live entertainment. You can also find top-notch live entertainment and dancing just .7 miles down the road at KTAOS Solar Center.

When you don't feel like cooking? Head to the Taos Mesa Brewery Mother Ship. Located 3.3 miles from the property, the brewery offers even more music stages and a taproom that serves tacos and beer.
