The Welcome Tree was more than a tree.
Like the Taos Hum itself, it has been part of the lore of this place—the tree being something people pointed out, photographed, shared with friends, and carried with them long after they left.
For years it stood watch beside the mailbox, greeting travelers and reminding the rest of us that we were almost home.
The tree may have fallen, but some landmarks never really leave.
