Red River Visitor Guide

Along the Enchanted Circle Scenic Byway, you’ll find Red River: a small but spectacular mountain town. Just 36 miles from Taos, Red River features breathtaking scenery and outdoor adventures for every season. Red River boasts a ski area with operations in winter and summer and a plethora of access to the surrounding Sangre de Cristo Mountains where you can hike, bike, camp, or simply enjoy a relaxing mountain getaway.

Every day is an adventure in this iconic New Mexico mountain town. A hike into deep wilderness reveals spectacular views of towering peaks against a brilliant blue sky.

The small, meandering highway threads its way through a 1.5-million-acre forest preserve. The road twists and turns and climbs steadily through Rocky Mountain passes, thickening pines, and dropping temperatures. Depending upon the time of year, the a/c is either turned off or the heat is turned on. The car windows are lowered to get a clearer glimpse of the silvery strand of river that flows alongside, to feel cold, crisp air on the skin, and to breathe in the growing excitement of what lies beyond the next bend. Welcome to the Town of Red River. RED RIVER LET THE GOOD LIFE FLOW

SUMMER & FALL

Red River’s 8,750’ elevation takes your breath away, not just the thin air but the natural beauty. There’s the forest rising around you, the river flowing through town behind you, the empty trails and open chairlifts, and music echoing through the mountainside from a live concert. Summer and fall days are open-agenda days, filled with wildflowers, changing leaves, chirping birds, and local festivals and events. Cast a fly to a trout. Hike or horseback to a secluded alpine lake. Rent an off-highway vehicle (OHV), and take a dusty, bumpy, fun-as-heck ride to scenic overlook that puts you an arm’s stretch away from the clouds above. Or hitch a hammock to a shady tree and fall asleep to the gentle rocking of Mother Nature cradling you in her arms. A GAIN IN ELEVATION IS A GAIN IN OPPORTUNITY

WINTER

Snow is joyful no matter how you spend time in it, and Red River receives wagonloads of snow every winter. Sure, our sleepy town could close shop and hibernate with the bears until spring. But when we see our teary-eyed skis in the corner pleading to go outside, and the snowshoes about to walk the trails themselves, and the snowboards watching old Warren Miller videos wishing they could be in one; we’d be remiss to laze away the winter hours. There’s just too much fun to be done. Red River’s sparkly white trails, frost-covered rooftops and deep powder runs provide acres upon acres of winter activities. Frankly, winter is one of the prettiest and liveliest times to visit. The holidays lights are out. S’mores are out. Santa is out. Joy is in abundance. JOY IN ABUNDANCE

ACTIVITIES AND AMENITIES THAT LET V EXPERIENCE THE SURROUNDING MOUN AND FORESTS IN WAYS OUR ANCESTOR WOULDN’T BELIEVE. BENEATH THE BLUEST SKY, A PERFECT DAY BEGINS

Meet our fellow residents. Black bear. Mule deer. Bighorn sheep. Miners were not the first to settle this valley. Black bear, mule deer, bighorn sheep and other animals still make their home in the surrounding alpine forests of Red River, and can often be seen on the hiking trails, crossing the ski slopes, and wandering through town. Even Red River Ski and Summer area closes early every spring to accommodate the elk migration. Native wildlife was here first, and we’ll make sure it’s here last. Wildlife sightings are a given and add beauty to the already spectacular scenery. Abandoned mines. Lost cabins. A history that’s present. The surrounding hillsides contain not-so-hidden secrets, the abandoned remains of old copper, silver, and gold mines. These relics staked an early claim in Red River’s identity and left behind a mining lineage that runs deeply through town today. Red River will never bulldoze the strong connection to its past. The bones of caved-in log cabins can be seen along some trails, framing a simpler way of life that has guided the town ever since.

Restaurants. No drive-throughs. Just good old fashioned, home-town cooking.

Virtually every restaurant in Red River is locally owned and operated, with menus crafted deliciously from the heart. Our low-key mountain town has a surprisingly large selection of culinary offerings: Steakhouses, Mexican and Italian restaurants, sandwich shops, diners, a brew pub, and more. Most restaurants are located on Main Street, or within walking distance of it. Dine at a place you can’t find anywhere else. Hotels, cabins, RV parks. Sleeping options. The Town of Red River has many types of lodging options, from hotels to condos to stand-alone cabins and RV parks. You, and whoever you bring with you, will be comfortable and cozy. Most lodging is in town or near town, so you’re always near the action.

RED RIVER | NEW MEXICO

Bars, saloons, watering holes. No spurs or ten-gallon hats required. Push your way through saloon doors into live music, friendly people and generous pours. You won’t go thirsty. Main Street is filled with a great selection of bars, saloons and tasting rooms. There is usually live music playing somewhere in town. Red River has some of the coolest venues for bands: Bars, mountaintops, parks, and lakes. See local, regional, and national artists. Visit one of our seasonal festivals like Mardi Gras and Oktoberfest and follow your ears. Better yet, check the events calendar on the website to see upcoming concerts and events.

RED RIVER SKI & SUMMER AREA BEST SKI TOWN RED RIVER SKI & SUMMER AREA WINTER Red River was recently voted best ski town by USA Today…again. The Red River Ski & Summer Area can take a mountain-sized part of the credit. This popular ski area is open year-round.

WINTER STATS: Our slopes get snow, even when it’s not snowing out. Snowmaking machines cover 85% of the runs, virtually guaranteeing daily snow coverage and open runs throughout winter. We have 209 skiable acres, 64 trails, 7 lifts, and 214� of annual snowfall. Beginner, intermediate, and expert terrain. Ski, snowboard and equipment rentals. Ski lessons. Tubing. Après ski. You are perfectly set up for an incredible day on the slopes. Be sure to check the Torchlight Parade and fireworks every Saturday night at the base of the mountain.

SUMMER

SUMMER STATS: The mountain is open during summer, and covered with wildflowers, wildlife and wildly good times. Here’s what to do: Scenic chairlift rides, hiking trails, summer mountain tubing, aerial park obstacle course, pioneer flyer seated zip lines, mini golf, disc golf, and live music at the mountaintop restaurant.
