As I photographer there is always something amazing to photograph from the hunting red tail hawks to sunrises and sunsets, the world blanketed by snow, or the wide variety of wildflowers which appear when the snow melts. It is a dark sky area where all the neighbors are early to bed. Well, except for the deer and the elk. And the pair of great horned owls you hear rather than see.
The location of Charley's Hideaway allows visitors to enjoy a slice of rural mountain life which is easily accessed and still close to a resort which offers golfing, fishing, skiing, mountain biking, dining, and off road adventures. This section of New Mexico has been rated as one of the best for hunters for trophy elk, deer and antelope. Which you can also seek out with cameras. Black Lake is in the middle of several state parks and wildlife preserves for easy day trips. Coyote and Cimarron State parks have great fly fishing. Or day shopping on the other side of the mountain in Taos or down to Santa Fe for the day.
Book for a couple weeks or a month and experience all the location has to offer without having to pack up and move.
