Taos, dry and high, has four seasons: the summers warm during the day and cooling 40 degrees for comfortable sleep at night; fall with slightly cooler days spotlight the vibrant Aspens sharing their last bursts of color until spring when the mountain snows melt to white water for those adventurous rafters and kayakers. 

San Geronimo Day is in September, with pole-climbing and native dancing and foods.  The Native American Pow Wow is in July, where over 40 different tribes throughout the southwest, northwest and central states, converge to the Taos Pueblo for a weekend of dancing, drumming, artisans and culture. The Spanish Fiestas occur in July as well, with Tio Vivo in the Plaza.
