Ruidoso at a Glance
Neighboring the Rocky Mountains in Southeast
New Mexico, Ruidoso has two distinct appearances depending on the time of
year. In the summer, the Lincoln
National Forest welcomes hikers, bikers, campers and birders. Golfers enjoy
visiting one of the city's fine golf courses, including the Links
at Sierra Blanca, which features 18 holes of championship fairways. Summer
is also an ideal time to visit Fort
Stanton, which was established in 1855 and features a number of historic buildings.
When winter rolls around, the spotlight turns to the Ski
Apache Resort where 55 runs weave through the Rocky Mountains. Sleigh rides
are available through local parks and a favorite local activity is snow-tubing
at one of the area hills. No matter what time of year it is, Ruidoso is also a
popular gambling spot. Visitors enjoy making wagers at Billy
the Kid Casino and the nearby Ruidoso
Downs Race Track, where horse racing and casino action entertain gamblers.
