We drove toward Taos from the west and had to cross a famous bridge that spans the narrow and deep Rio Grande Gorge a few miles from Taos. The bridge was blocked by police and emergency vehicles were out on the bridge. Later we learned it was a suicide. Had to drive south 10 or 15 miles to the nearest bridge. Unknown to us the paved road turned to dirt for three miles to descend to the bottom of the gorge.
We finally crossed the Rio Grande on a tiny bridge and then had to drive 7 miles through the Rio Grande Recreation area before turning north back to Taos.
Outdoor eating at Pizzaros just north of Taos. The sunset was great with the mountains in the background.
