New Mexico Motorcycle Road Trip | Santa Fe to Taos Pueblo

[@sallysheltonn]

I got a tattoo of the Zia sun (state symbol) on my ankle after going to NM for the first time. Just went there for the THIRD time last week! It is my favorite state in the US. So much beauty everywhere you go.

[@c4or2ey0]

I love living here in NM 😊

[@christopherm903]

Our crime is awesome here as well! Although to be very honest, it was never really This bad. A lot of theft, both personal and vehicle theft is a state favorite. Violent crime is now on the rise, as it is a rarity to not see someone or more being gunned down on the news every day. This is due to very ram-pet gang activity. Albuquerque is by far our most dangerous city. Santa Fe is still pretty safe in the tourist areas, and during the day. It’s a shame because ours is a very beautiful state, it’s very diverse culturally, and aesthetically. I really wish our elected government would clamp down on our crime before it’s too late, as it’s getting very close to being “Out of control” and we are losing more visitors to our state every year. This is most evident during our annual “Balloon fiesta” where after many years of stollen vehicles and stollen balloons, balloonists from around the world have started their own balloon fiestas to avoid our state, where year after year, less and less are making the trek to New Mexico.

[@Burciaga96]

Mostly only native new mexicans get that tattoo so seeing someone from another state get it really makes me smile! You are awesome and I'm glad you enjoy my state as much as I do 😊

Some amazing with the drone. You really made New Mexico look incredible. Nice job!!

[@vagabrothers]

Thank you!!!

welcome to my home! 🌄 such beautiful footage, so glad you all came throughb

There's a saying in NM that we use. If you don't like the weather, just wait 15 minutes. 😂

[@splitrun5213]

Lmao so true 😂

[@MultiKswift]

We have that saying in Massachusetts too.

[@vaibhav3946]

haha thats cool...in india if you dont like weather just go to another city...you can experience the snowfall and hot desert night on the same day..

los bones thank you so much for taking the time to share your pet peeve with me

[@kathrynvickers8170]

I've lived in New Mexico my whole entire life. I feel like more often than not people travel here and talk down about this state, but it truly is filled with so much beauty. It's super refreshing to see you guys enjoy the culture, food, and just all that New Mexico has to offer! I love my home! P.s. Put the International Balloon Fiesta on your to do list!!

[@campbellj20]

Lived in ABQ for a bit. Stunningly beautiful landscape. The people... not nearly as good. Couldn't handle the theft

[@vagabrothers]

Thank you Kathryn. It really is gorgeous out there

[@PerthTowne]

New Mexico is such an amazing part of the US. It kind of flies below the radar. I don't think foreign tourists go to New Mexico a lot. I don't even think a lot of Americans go to New Mexico, compared to the states around it like Arizona and Colorado. This video just scratches the surface. Santa Fe is a beautiful city, a unique city--but there is a lot more to New Mexico. I've been there five time and I want to go again.

[@cbeaucrawford]

Yes! Fly to El Paso and drive West an hour to Las Cruces/Old Mesilla. Or come to Northern NM and visit my wonderful home city of Albuquerque, where you can take the RailRunner train for day trips to Santa Fe. There is beauty in every direction.

[@angelicharmony]

@@cbeaucrawford What is there to see in Las Cruces/Old Mesilla? I'll be at White Sands in October and would love any suggestions!

[@angelicharmony]

Please let me know of the must see places! I'm Canadian and I'm planning a road trip there. I have Sante Fe (Meow Wolf), Carlsbad caverns, White Sands, Albuquerque (hot air balloon festival) + Taos/Taos Pueblo on the itinerary so far.

[@DigitalPaynow]

This is amazing my whole family from there all my ancestors I'm excited you have done this video I am a naitive of the Pueblos thank you

[@sallysheltonn]

If you ever go back make sure to hit White Sands, Carlsbad Caverns, and the Lincoln National Forest. Oh and the Valley of Fires is pretty sweet :)

[@SooperKewl]

Second this! Just did exactly this on my way to Santa Fe and it was epic.

[@SpudForceable]

I moved to Albuquerque two months ago and I gotta say this is probably the best move I've ever made (yes I was aware of the reputation ABQ has). I've lived in the Midwest (Ohio and Iowa), Virginia, Arizona, Colorado and I grew up in the LA area. Out of all the places I've lived in, New Mexico is where I'm seriously considering buying a house, it helps that I could actually afford a nice home in Albuquerque. No joke this is only the second place I've moved to where I'm actually pretty damn comfortable with the thought of buying a home and settling down for awhile. The other place was Colorado Springs, but it's getting pricey up there.

[@tonygareth221]

Was thinking of visiting Santa Fe and Taos this coming weekend alone just to ride around and see the sites even with the virus situation what do you think?

[@SpudForceable]

@@tonygareth221 If you just want to ride around and see the sites but be warned many restaurants and shops are going to be closed for the next few weeks

Just finished a trip to NM and got some great ideas from your video to travel on a Mystery Trip next time with some cool clues from your video😀

[@speliotis]

Love the way your videographers are capturing your road trips... Truly World -Class... & thanks for all this behind the scenes info... bringing everyone closer to what is real.

[@vagabrothers]

Thank you!!

[@BarbaraUSVI]

Thank you! I lived there in the late 70’s for over a decade from Questa to Santa Fe and you were able to catch the essence of what was and what is. You didn’t depict the church at Chimayo a place of miraculous healings and a never ending pilgrimage of those seeking a physical and mental healing. I hope you personally had the opportunity to see it and if not a reason for you to return. Thank you again for allowing me a trip down a precious trail of memories that will always be a part of who I am.

[@vagabrothers]

Unfortunately getting permission to film in that church is very difficult

[@dobypilgrim6160]

I'm blessed to live in Santa Fe. There is SO much more to experience than this video could possibly convey. Even the High Road. You couldn't show Truchas, and probably didn't see Cundiyo. When I say I'm blessed to be here, I truly mean it. I wasn't born here. But I plan to be buried here.

[@vagabrothers]

It’s a very special place!

[@TurnItUpWorld]

Totally living in style. Great video and you both have come a long way with all that hard work. 🤘😀

Visited Taos Pueblo over 20 years ago, crossed the same bridge over the Rio Grande. Your video reawakened my desire to revisit the area and also to visit Meow Wolf in Santa Fe. You guys never fail to inspire.

[@vagabrothers]

Thank you!!!!

[@nicolechavezz]

Native Santa Fean here! It is a special place. My distant great grandfather was the governor of NM in the 1840s and there is sooo much history. I’m glad you were able to come get a dose of our history, food, views, and culture. And of course Meow Wolf :)

Such a well done video! Perfect timing too. I watched your Canadian Rockies video right before my trip to Alberta and this one before my US roadtrip (including New Mexico). The whole reason I started planning a trip to this region was because I saw an ad for Meow Wolf and thought "I have to go there!" Had to skip over that part of the video so there will be some surprises. You've gotten me excited for my upcoming trip yet again!

I love Taos and when I lived in Colorado for 30 years, we used to go down at least twice a year. Especially the Taos, Pueblo and the Mabel dodge LuHan story and her home. I read a lot of books about it and it’s just fascinating to me a place to just draws you back over and over again and I am planning to be able to spend at least a few days there next winter when I’ll be in New Mexico, and Arizona for three months. I really enjoyed your video because it is real people, their real voices and discussing their real interests instead of a bunch of AI generated bull crap. Refreshing!

At precisely the same time as you said "it's snowing" it started to snow right hear in Toronto . Isn't that something ! Maybe this means you tube can transmit snow !
