Earthship Biotecture is worth swinging by if you're in Taos for more than a day or so and decide to check out the bridge over the Rio Grande; it's just a little farther up the road. Ideas are modeled here about water use and recovery, passive solar, and gardening, but using old tires and glass bottles for structures seems like an obsolete strategy for anything on a larger scale in these days of mass recycling (I hope you recycle) and high labor costs.

If you view this place as a novelty or curiosity, you might question the value, but if you can apply any of what you see here in any small way, then it's worth it.
