Day time temperatures can reach into the high 60’s nights can be in the mid 30’s Plenty of sunshine. And as is true at higher evaluations “If you don’t like the weather wait a moment and it’ll change”
Throughout the Week! Jeep tours, shops and restaurants open, fishing along the river, town ponds and surrounding areas, nature trail and other hiking or mountain biking trails, gold panning, Zumba and other classes offered, open recreation at the Conference Center, library with historical information. Take a day trip- Drive the Enchanted Circle, visit the historic Philmont Ranch, take the High Road to Taos, visit the Sand Dunes…. sitting on the deck or a bench along the river and watching the day go by is another great way to enjoy your stay.
