Taos Mountain, known locally as Pueblo Peak, may not look like it towers over the valley outside Taos, New Mexico, once a sleepy southern Sangre de Cristo Mountains town, inhabited by Native Americans for centuries, that has grown into an art colony, filled with museums and dozens of shops, that is now a worldwide tourist attraction
