The Rio Grande Gorge is a geological feature in northern New Mexico where the watercourse of the Rio Grande follows an eroded chasm. Beginning near the Colorado border, the approximately 50-mile (80 km) gorge runs from northwest to southwest of Taos, New Mexico, through the basalt flows of the Taos Plateau volcanic field.
