Called a mountain paradise by locals and visitors alike, Ruidoso is nestled in the Southern Rocky Mountains. The surrounding mountains offer tremendous opportunities for golfing, camping, hunting, fishing, mountain biking, horseback riding, and, of course, skiing. The cool mountain air and mild climate is a welcome retreat for those from nearby desert areas.
Sierra Blanca Peak, towering over the village, reaches 12,003 feet.
Ruidoso is a charming resort town, boasting every possible amenity for visitors, in addition to the surrounding natural beauty. Picturesque shops and art galleries abound and the Hubbard Museum of the American West houses a wonderful collection of artifacts, antique vehicles, and art.
