After our backpack we got back to Taos in the evening and spent the night in Taos. In the morning, before returning to Denver, we ate breakfast and visited a gallery in the eccentric village of Arroyo Seco, rode the chairlift at the Taos Ski Resort to look at the fall colors and visited the San Francisco de Asis Church. The church was constructed beginning around 1772 and was completed in 1815 by Franciscan Fathers.
