We were in Taos at exactly that time last year. Had great weather--warm days and cool nights, which is the reason we do most of our camping at that time of year. We went to Taos on US 64 from Raton via Cimarron Canyon and Angel Fire.
Then we went down to Cochiti Lake, the Corps of Engineers campground south of Santa Fe, for a few days. Great campground with paved sites, electrical hookups, water, and a dump for $11/night with our Senior Pass. While there, big flocks of sandhill cranes were flying overhead on the last leg of their trip from Monte Vista NWR in the San Luis Valley to Bosque del Apache NWR, where they spend the winter.
