Taos has been named one of the "20 best small towns in America" by Smithsonian Magazine. Taos ranked second on the list, described as containing "modern art, ancient history and counterculture in the luminous high desert".

"We think any best place worth traveling to should have one quality above others: culture". The list can be viewed in its entirety at www.smithonianmag.com/travel/The-20-Best-Small-Towns-in-America.html

Taos has also made several other "best of" lists so far this year including: Today Show/Travel and Leisure's "Best Winter Getaways", National Geographic's "World's Best 25 Ski Towns", Travel and Leisure's "Americas Best Spring Drives" and Forbes' "America's Prettiest Towns".
