Swim
West of Taos and Southwest of Arroyo Hondo is the Rio Grande River canyon. At the bottom of this beautiful desert canyon is the Rio Grande River also some great hot springs to soak in right on the banks of the river. (At high river flows, these may be under water.) You can soak in the springs and cool off in the river (if the river flow is low enough for this to be SAFE)...Courtesy of swimmingholes.org
