About Mudd N Flood Mountain Shop
Mudd N Flood Mountain Shop is Taos's only fully equipped mountain and outdoor gear shop, located on historic Bent Street in the heart of the Taos Plaza district. Since opening, the shop has become a go-to resource for both locals and visitors looking to gear up for adventures in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Rio Grande Gorge, and the surrounding high desert landscape.
The shop carries a curated selection of outdoor clothing and equipment for hiking, camping, backpacking, rock climbing, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing. Brands span from technical alpine manufacturers to rugged everyday outdoor wear. Beyond retail, Mudd N Flood provides trail maps, guidebooks, and expert advice on local routes and conditions — staff are avid outdoor enthusiasts who know the area's trails, climbing spots, and seasonal conditions intimately.
What makes Mudd N Flood a standout in Taos is their role as an informal adventure information centre. Walk in asking about the best trail to Wheeler Peak or where to find spring snow for touring, and you'll get detailed, current beta from people who were out there last weekend. In a town that draws outdoor enthusiasts from around the world, having a knowledgeable local shop on the plaza is invaluable for trip planning and last-minute gear needs.
