Because of the speed limit and road conditions, a trip along this road usually takes three hours although some drivers do it in less. They drive serpentine roads, look at quaint houses and magnificent scenery, and depart content that they have driven through a fascinating area. But the High Road is more than just a scenic road trip; it is a journey through the lives of the people, past and present, who-tied to the earth, fiercely independent, and staunchly Catholic-settled a hostile land, created a new life for themselves, and became the moral fiber of New Mexico. This book gives readers a brief glimpse into the lives, beliefs, and arts of these people and offers suggestions about sights and accommodations for travelers willing to take enough time to discover the beauty and mysteries hidden in the small towns Along the High Road.

Some people liked it, others didn't. Either way, if you're going to be in the Santa Fe, New Mexico area and want to take a trip on the High Road, you might want to have this book along. Who Knew?   February 12, 2004 1 out of 1 found this review helpful I've lived in New Mexico all my life and never knew there was so much to do on the High Road. Like many other people, I usually drove the road on my way to someplace else. Now, after reading this book, I'm going to take my time. GREAT BOOK   January 23, 2005 Lawrence E. Granback (Midlothian, Va) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful A friend of mine recommended that I read "Along the High Road". I had mentioned that New Mexico was one state that we had not spent much time in as we traveled by motorhome. The book sure opened my eyes, not only to what New Mexico has to offer, but how much we probably have missed by hurrying thru other states. Margaret really does a grand job in not only telling of the history of the area between Espanola and Taos, but also what awaits today's traveler who takes the time to "smell the roses". Great book and waiting for more from Margaret. Outside Santa Fe   January 16, 2004 Great little book. Looks at all the little towns along The High Road between Espanola and Taos, New Mexico. The information about the arts, lifestyles, and people that live along the road is informative and interesting. Plus-there are suggestions about where to eat and stay while visiting. Should be required reading for anyone visiting New Mexico. So much more than the cover   January 5, 2005 C. A. Lipowsky (Chicago, IL USA) I loved this book even though I was a little put off by the bland cover. I know we all know the saying "Don't judge a book...." and I'm glad I didn't go by the saying because I thoroughly enjoyed this book and found it to be filled with insightful facts and stories that I haven't read elsewhere. This was a great buy and a fascinating and very useful book. Anyone traveling to this area would greatly benenfit from reading this well written book. Showing reviews 1-5 of 7 1 2 Next »
