Red River
New Mexico
Red River New Mexico is a mining town that dates back
to 1895 when over 3,000 miners searched the beautiful surrounding mountains for gold. By the early 1900s most had gone elsewhere
in search of gold but the town remained to play host to a country full of hot and weary travelers looking for relief. Over
the years it has become a treasured destination for many and is often referred to as "The Mountain Playground of the Southern
Rockies".Red River is located in the southern Rocky Mountains, part of the Sangre de Cristo Range. The village is completely
surrounded by the 1,500,000 acre Carson National Forest. It sits at an altitude of 8,750' and receives 188" of snowfall annually.
