Angel Fire is a small village in northern New Mexico. We passed through while driving the Enchanted Circle Scenic Byway from Taos.
History
Angel Fire was established in 1982 and incorporated in 1986. It’s a popular ski resort destination, and the Angel Fire Resort has been operating since 1966.
What to Do
We didn’t spend much time in the village. Our only stop was at the small visitor center, and we took a quick drive to get close to the resort. It seems like a great place to spend time in any season. I hope to go back in the future to enjoy a few days there.
There are lots of outdoor activities and sports to practice. In addition to skiing, there’s sledding, ice fishing, sleigh riding, cross country skiing, and snowshoeing in the winter. During summer, summer there’s hiking, biking, horseback riding, white water rafting, fishing, hunting, bird watching, and wildlife viewing.
In the Area
A few minutes north of the village is the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, which is covered in another post. It was the first memorial of its kind in the United States and inspired the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, DC. It’s definitely worth a stop.
