One of the first artist's colonies in the United States, Taos is a small town tucked away in the high desert of New Mexico. It's hard to tear your eyes away from the dramatic scenery surrounding the town, but once you manage to do so, you'll see that the downtown streets are lined with art galleries and restaurants serving up spicy Tex-Mex. It's easy for most visitors to spend the entire long weekend shopping and eating to your heart's content, but if you'd like to do something more active, you'll pleased to know that the local ski resort is typically open by Thanksgiving.
