History

Arroyo Seco was settled in 1804, on a Spanish land grant made on October 7, 1745. The Church of the Most Holy Trinity was completed in 1834 and has recently been restored.

Overlooking Arroyo Seco stands Lucero Peak, a 10,780 feet (3,290 m) rock formation. Housed in the Peak is a cave that is sacred to the local Native American population of Taos Pueblo. The cave inspired D.H. Lawrence’s short story “The Woman who Rode Away” after he visited it in May 1924 with Mabel Dodge Luhan, her husband Tony, and Lawrence’s wife Frieda.
