As you might have guessed, High Road Artisans is on the High Road to Taos and just after you turn…read moreleft after arriving in Truchas. When I lived in Northern New Mexico back around 1980, Truchas was a remote place that you drove through, but rarely stopped as the locals didn't take too kindly to strangers. Maybe the influx of artists into this area has softened the cultural differences. Anyway, High Road Artisans is a nifty co-op that is worth a stop. When you enter the building, there's a big room in the back and some smaller rooms in front that feature a wide range of local art. I think there's also some studio space in other places. It's a very friendly place and folks here are really nice and helpful. Clean restrooms too. I ended up with a ringed barbed wire piece with a cross, that reminded me of this area's unique Easter-time religious practices. I'd love to come back and take another look.

Hundreds of fossils, geodes, ancient stones, petrified animals, etc., almost like walking through a museum! A fascinating place for young and old! A word of caution tough... the old adage "you break it you buy it" should be remembered here. Although many of the items are stone, they're still breakable, and some are quite expensive! Ask for help if you want to touch something! LOL The staff is great, knowledgeable and ready to assist. Well worth your time if you're in the area!

We could have spent all day here talking with the store manager, so knowledgeable. Enjoy!!!

We never got a check. We call once a week and he always says he's not feeling well or hasn't gotten a chance to get to it. I finally said I really hate to do this to you, but I will take you to small claims court at this point. No we should be waiting 3-4 years for you to send a check for 6200 and we'd also like an invoice because if that's what he sold it for, fine but we don't know that I'm hoping leaving a review letting other people know might give you the incentive to mail the check to my parents and I know you've been feeling unwell, but you know exactly how sick my dad is and really should be ashamed of yourself. I'm so sad people take advantage of their kindness like this.
