What is the Blake Elevated Experience?

These are our hand-picked, long-weekend itineraries that showcase the best that Taos Ski Valley and Northern New Mexico have to offer. We have created the ultimate ways to experience Taos, so you don’t have to think about the details. We have three experiential options: adventure, culture, and wellness.

What is included?

All lodging, activities, guides, transportation, meals, beverages (including house wine, beer, and cocktails), and gratuities are included. Come renew, explore, and get energized—and leave the logistics to us.

TAOS IS AT ELEVATION, RIGHT? HOW FIT DO I NEED TO BE?

The Blake is definitely high, around 9,000', but don’t worry, we’re experienced with hosting guests here. Guests on the Adventure Experience should have some basic fitness. Our Guest Experience Manager and guides can cater all activities to every interest and ability level.

do i have to do everything on the itinerary?

No. If there are any activities that aren't your speed, talk to your reservations agent when booking your trip and they can work with you on alternatives.

WHAT GEAR DO I NEED?

Personal outdoor equipment including comfortable hiking shoes, athletic apparel (including a rain jacket), and sunglasses are a good idea. Bikes, climbing and paddling equipment, and fishing gear are all provided. But if you prefer your own, feel free to bring it with you.

What if it rains?

Not to worry! If it rains during a scheduled outdoor activity, we will have another exciting option for your to enjoy. Your experience manager will communicate any changes during your stay.

Is there an age restriction?

To participate in all the activities, all persons must be over the age of 12. For spa treatments, guests must be 16 and over. Childcare options are available upon request for an additional cost. 

how many people can be in my party for this Experience?

We have limited each Elevated Experience to 12 participants per weekend for the best experience, so you may bring up as many additional friends and family members as availability allows. The price shown is for 2 people in a one-bedroom suite. Additional guests will be $1,950 + tax for the program. These Experiences are exclusive to guests staying at The Blake, so please inquire about options to upgrade to larger units at an additional cost if there are more than 2 people in your party.

Who do I communicate my dietary restrictions to? 

Please tell your reservation agent about any dietary restrictions when you are booking your vacation. They will make sure any restrictions are denoted on your itinerary and relayed to our food & beverage team. 

My wife wants to do the adventure experience and I want to do the Culture experience. Can we still come?

Absolutely. We believe that everyone in The Blake Elevated Experiences should enjoy the option they prefer. There will be time to catch up and reflect together at breakfast and dinner, and in the down moments between.

How do I get there? 

We have coordinated our Elevated Experiences with Taos Air operated by JSX. You can fly direct to Taos from Dallas, Austin, Burbank, and San Diego. If you are coming by road, click here for directions.
