Santa Fe + Taos shopping
Santa Fe and Taos have long hosted hundreds of galleries devoted to painting, jewelry, and sculpture, but their reputation suffered after the turquoise coyote scourge of the 1980s. These days Taos has fewer galleries along Kit Carson road and Paseo del Pueblo, but others have opened along Highway 150, the road to Taos Ski Valley.
