1 Visit one exhibition at two museums. Two spaces in Taos—the Harwood Museum of Art and the Couse-Sharp Historic Site—host a double reception on Friday for the new exhibition, Legacy in Line: The Art of Gene Kloss. The exhibition displays the late artist’s works in both places. Kloss was a prolific printmaker who first came to New Mexico in 1925 on her honeymoon, when she fell in love with the landscape.

ON JUNE 25, 1857, Edward Beale left New Mexico’s Fort Defiance on a surveying mission along the 35th Parallel Route to the Colorado River on the Arizona–California border. The party included 12 wagons, 44 soldiers, 95 dogs, horses, and mules—and 25 camels.

The scent brings a sense of calm before I even set foot inside the old adobe home. Dove gray walls, crystal accents, and leafy plants carry the soothing ambience throughout the spa. A hint of earthy and floral notes from the skin-care products makes me take a deep breath.
