Red River—New Mexico’s premiere mountain playground
Many Red River vacation rentals started life as mining cabins, when this New Mexico mountain resort was a booming prospecting town. Explorers and fur trappers set up shop here in the 19th century, excavating the scenic mountains for gold, silver, and copper. It was only when the Gold Rush dried up that the mountain playground we know today was born. Visitors flock here for camping, hiking, and mountain biking in the balmy summer months, while winter-sports enthusiasts make Red River vacation rentals their home base for skiing, snowboarding, and cross-country excursions.
