Low Road or High Road to Taos? Chama?
From Santa Fe, which road to Taos? Which road is the Ranchos de Taos church on? I can only do one on my way to the Grand Canyon; would like the one with the best view. Any recommendations on a rout...

Well, Thunder Mountain just STOLE MY THUNDER. Could not agree more. There is a great restaurant where we often stop for lunch at Chimayo, Ranchos de Chimayo.
The historic church on the High Road is San José de Gracia de Las Trampas, in Trampas rather than Truchas. We always stop in both villages and have a friend in the small weaving shop in Truchas. We used to stop by and visit his parents when they were still weaving. Both now dead.
Just be sure to turn LEFT as you come to the main intersection leading into the town of Taos. The plaza will be just to the left again. The road on which you will have turned left is the main highway toward Santa Fe, so you would pass the plaza on the right before you come into the town of Taos
We have never TOWED on the High Road. We have either been set up at Taos or Santa Fe and have left the trailer at camp.

I believe the High Road passes the Rancho de Taos plaza and San Francisco de Asis mission church on the way into town. But if you go the other route, it's not a big deal to drive a few minutes to see the church. Taos is fairly small in size.
