Things to do in Ruidoso
Ruidoso is a mountain resort town in the Sacramento Mountains of southern New Mexico, set among pine forest along the Rio Ruidoso at nearly 7,000 feet. For generations it has been a summer refuge for families from West Texas and the Permian Basin, many of whom keep cabins here, and second homes, tourism and horse racing remain the foundation of the economy. The Mescalero Apache Tribe, whose reservation borders the town, operates Ski Apache on the slopes of Sierra Blanca and the Inn of the Mountain Gods resort.
