Itinerary and possible cabins in Taos NM? I will be traveling with my 3 girls age 16,11 and 8 from Colorado Springs CO into the Taos NM area. We will have about 3-4 days. I am wondering if anyone can give me a hint on things not to miss, and possibly some (hopefully not too expensive) cabins in the Red River or Taos area? Thank you
