Visitor Guide

2 angel fi refun.com

Welcome

T here are many different ways in which guests

are made welcome in someone’s home—in the

case of Angel Fire, “welcome” is encompassed in

a dynamic interplay of elements. Pyrotechnic sunsets

f ire-branding the mountain peaks red and gold;

sprawling wilderness that beckons contemplation and

exploration; the natural high born of breathing fresh

mountain air. It is also easy to feel good in a com-

munity that is rich in laid-back charm and easygoing

folks. A visit to Angel Fire is not simply about “getting

away,” but also about getting back to yourself. Renewal

and revitalization; R & R with a high-altitude twist.

As a premiere family destination, Angel Fire’s “youth

movement” runs through all four seasons, with

numerous opportunities for the young, and the young

at heart, to stay actively engaged. You can say that

our town’s resounding “welcome,” translates into an

invitation for all f ive of your senses to experience

nature, southwestern-style. Indulge freely.

W hen winter arrives in Angel Fire, the

landscape is transformed into a massive

playground for kids of all ages. With over

210 inches of annual snowfall—not to mention ex-

tensive snowmaking—there are many ways in which

to experience the upside and the down-slide of

mountain fun. There are 76 ski trails—covering all

different skill levels—30 acres of gladed tree skiing, snowshoeing,

snowskating, snowbiking, snowmobiling, sleigh rides, and horseback

riding. Riders can get aerodynamically creative in the two award-winning

freestyle terrain parks. Around Angel Fire, you can trek into national

forests or high mountain meadows on backcountry skis, snowshoes or

snowmobiles. If you’re heading into unfamiliar terrain, get a guide.

Tubing enthusiasts, take note: Angel Fire is home to

the Polar Coaster, the biggest tubing park in the South-

ern Rockies. Cast your line in an alternative direction

and try ice f ishing in nearby Eagle Nest Lake. When it’s

time to come in from the cold, frothy hot chocolate or

a honey-infused hot toddy, enjoyed by the f ireside, will

warm the bones. Until you’re ready to resume playing

in the snow.

W hen the mountains trade in their winter-coats and “go

green” for the warmer seasons, another side of Angel Fire

springs to life. A time when wildf lowers become all the rage

and then later, aspens blaze orange and yellow. Natural splendors and

sensual delights serve as the perfect backdrop for a slew of recreational

options. A golfer’s paradise exists in Angel Fire’s 18-hole PGA Cham-

pionship Course. If you’re in the market for the “wheel deal,” world-

class mountain biking trails will get you rolling. Want to put a little zip

and crackle into your vacation? Angel Fire’s new Zipline Adventure

Tour allows “gliders” to get their express on, and

travel from tree to tree in heart-pumping fashion.

How else to enjoy our jewel-of-a-community? Let

us count the ways: f ishing, hunting, bird-watching,

rafting, tennis, picnicking, off-roading, ATV tours,

horseback riding, scenic chairlift rides, and photo-

ops galore. The perennial sunshine co-mingled with

the cool mountain air, is ideal climate for hiking, and

there’s an abundance of trails—both in town and nearby

—that will bring you up-close and personal with the

rugged beauty of the high country.

C ome spring, you’ll be f ired up to explore nature’s many trails.

Whether a light stroll or demanding workout, there are plenty of

places to go. At our high altitude, your heart will pump a little

harder especially if you bust a herd of elk in the woods. Wildf lowers peak

in July. Fall colors hit their high notes in late September. So, load up

on water and sunscreen and plan for sudden weather changes. Wherever

your GPS steers you, leave only footprints behind.

Brotherhood Chapel on a hill looking south to Angel Fire. It

with free admission, it has a national reputation as an invaluable site for

veterans of all wars and their families. Since 1968, well over two million

visitors have come. While the chapel, always open to the public, nurtures

the emotional and spiritual setting of the place, the Visitor Center feeds

the imagination of what it was like to serve in Vietnam. Photographs,

banners, video, soldier artifacts f ill the 6000 square foot center. Outside

High-AltitudeDrink water, and lots of it. Use sunscreen, as there is 30% less protection

from the sun’s rays at 8,000+ feet. Be conscientious about your alcohol

intake, especially when f irst arriving. Understand that higher altitude

impacts heart rate and respiratory functions. Listen to your body and go

at your own pace.

Community FoundationOriginating in 1978, the Angel Fire Community Foundation has a goal

of improving quality of life for residents and visitors. The Founda-

tion helps connect donor charitable giving goals with vital community

needs. Over $500,000 has been allocated to health and human services,

arts and culture, education and literacy and youth and family services.

IT’S Your TurnBold. Beautiful. Obtainable. We’ve got you covered.


A ngel Fire is an ideal place to live and raise a

family. It’s not just beautiful here, we have

crystal clear air year around. After work,

you can get out and enjoy the climate and clear your

mind. We have four distinct, spectacular seasons, and

it’s nearly always sunny; we’re at the same latitude as

Mykonos, Greece. You can zip from home to work in

just a few minutes with no stop lights. In Angel Fire, the only traff ic jam

happens when everyone stops for a herd of elk crossing the road.

LifestyleThe lifestyle here is lively! Hiking, biking, f ishing, skiing and snow-

boarding, 4-wheeling, snowmobiling, snowshoeing and much more.

Besides our famous elk, deer, bobcats, turkey and yes, the occasional

bear are likely to share your yard. Birds of all

colors, bald eagles to hummingbirds, are abun-

dant in the area. In Angel Fire, we have peace and

quiet. Forget honking horns, sirens, and the fast-

paced city life. Instead, sit outside and count the

stars or listen to the elk bugle. Angel Fire is home

to artists, writers and internet professionals. When

you have scenery like ours, it doesn’t take much

to become inspired and create your next master-

piece. You’re family in Angel Fire. We’re informal

and personal, with a strong sense of community.

EducationYou don’t have to live in a large city to give your

children a top-notch education. Our elementary and

middle school is acknowledged as one of New

Mexico’s most innovative, and Moreno Valley High

School is one of the nation’s top-ranked charter

high schools. Students love the four day week.


Health CareOur Moreno Valley Health Care Clinic is staffed

by medical professionals including a doctor, phy-

sician’s assistant and nurses. It is equipped with

X-ray and other typical clinic services. Our local f ire

department has ambulances and a highly trained

EMT staff. Just a half-hour away, Holy Cross

Hospital in Taos is a 47-bed acute care facility.

We have a dentist, too. And your pets will be

reassured to know there’s also a local veterinarian.

Business FriendlyOur community is committed to an economic

development strategic plan that encourages busi-

ness growth and supports business retention. Our

Village leadership and Chamber of Commerce are

committed to helping local businesses get start-

ed and keep going. You’ll f ind them approachable

and willing to work creatively to ensure a local

environment that enables businesses to grow and

Live, Work, Play

prosper. Unlike so many parts of New Mexico,

the Village of Angel Fire has suff icient water

rights to support continuing residential and com-

mercial growth.

Ignite your SpiritYou can be your own boss. Sure, you can work

for one of our local businesses, and we have some

great ones here. Angel Fire can always use more

businesses, so perhaps it’s time to ignite your

entrepreneurial spirit. If you have something

specif ic in mind, we can help link you with

resources to make your dream a reality.

Dining and ShoppingFine dining, New Mexican, pizza joint or picnic

in the park, Angel Fire has cuisine choices for

different tastes. Scope out the shopping scene

from unique ski shops to chic boutiques.

Melting PotIn the American way, Angel Fire is a melting pot. Some of our families

have been here for generations, but many residents have deliberately

moved here from other parts of the country, even other nations, because

it’s such a great place to live. They’ve brought their business acumen,

their artistic skills, and a wealth of knowledge, experience and creativity.

Staying GreenReduce, reuse, recycle. Angel Fire is doing its part as guardian of the

planet with an active recycling program: cardboard, aluminum, plastic,

scrap metal, batteries, paper, glass and magazines. Recycling trailers are

located around town. 575-377-6967

Shuter LibraryOur local library, rated one of the highest performing libraries of its size

in the nation, serves over 20,000 visitors each year. With a collection of

over 10,000 books and wif i services, it is an integral part of the commu-

nity conducting children and youth programs and numerous fund raising

efforts, administered by a director and an active group of volunteers.
