About Taos

Living at Thunderbird Condominiums will provide the perfect base camp for families and friends to gain a sense of inspiration and adventure that deepens relationships to the landscape and the art of Northern New Mexico and, most importantly, to each other.

Just a short drive from the Ski Valley, the magical town of Taos sits nestled where the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains meet the high desert. You’ll find rugged peaks and lush pastures — breathtaking sunsets, enchanting vistas, big blue sunny days and star-filled skies at night. 

Taos boasts a number of art galleries and quaint shops featuring Native American, Hispanic, and contemporary arts, crafts, and antiques. There is also an historic Town Plaza, a country club and a golf course along with renowned restaurants.

Taos offers a relaxed, year-round lifestyle where you can enjoy a vast array of cultural activities; including Native American ceremonies in the 800 year-old Taos Pueblo, Spring and Fall Arts Festivals, as well as writer’s and artist’s workshops. Taos is also a conscious community priding itself as a steward of the environment, with alternative technologies and many volunteer programs. The famous San Francisco de Asis Church, painted by Georgia O’Keefe and photographed by Alfred Steiglitz, is down the road in Ranchos de Taos.

From Thunderbird you can venture on excursions into the surrounding National Forest for camping, fly fishing, hiking, horseback riding, llama trekking, cross-country skiing, snow shoeing and climbing.

The more adventurous will discover thrilling white-water rafting down the Rio Grande and ambitious hiking up 13,616 feet to Wheeler Peak.

Santa Fe is just over an hour away, giving you access to world-famous cultural attractions, including The Lensic Performing Arts Center and The Santa Fe Opera.  A short scenic drive will take you to Georgia O’Keefe’s home in Abiquiu.
