What are some of the best winter getaways in New Mexico?
The Land of Enchantment is a wonderful place to visit during the winter months. If you are searching for a winter getaway in New Mexico with plenty to do and see, head to the small town of Taos. This town was named one of the best mountain towns in the United States. While Taos is well-known for its adobe buildings and the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge, in the winter you must visit the Taos Ski Valley. This is one of the best ski resorts in New Mexico and it is perfect for beginner and intermediate skiers and snowboarders. In fact, at Taos Ski Valley, half of the terrain is catered to snow enthusiasts at these skill levels.
Another terrific winter getaway in the Land of Enchantment is a visit to Angel Fire Resort. This resort offers some of the best tubing hills in New Mexico. You’ll find up to four tubing hills that measure 1,000 feet in length, making for a winter adventure that the entire family will love. And, if snow tubing at a ski resort in New Mexico isn’t a possibility, don’t worry. You can easily find many sled riding hills in New Mexico at local parks and other locations around the state.
