5 Nature & Parks in Cloudcroft That You Shouldn't Miss
Cloudcroft is a village in Otero County, New Mexico, and is within the Lincoln National Forest. The population was 674 at the 2010 census. Despite being located in an otherwise arid region, its extremely high elevation (8,600 feet (2,600 m); one of the highest in the U.S.) allows for a relatively mild summer that makes it a popular tourist attraction in West Texas and New Mexico. It was named by Fodor's in 2002 as the Number 3 "Most Overlooked and Underrated Destination Spot." Tourism remains the primary economic driver of the village.

We hiked this yesterday with 2 teenagers and had a great time. Because of the recent snow there were long stretches of icy/muddy trails, but it was passable. Hiking boots are a must for the next few days.

Had a great day of fishing, took my kids and caught 5 pretty good sized trout in about an hour and a half. Price was very reasonable and the staff was great, very friendly and cleaned the fish for us. I read all the negative reviews but experienced none of that. This is an excellent spot to take your kids. Highly recommend this place and will be returning again soon.

My first time ever skiing and Ski Cloudcroft was the perfect place to start! Took a ski lesson with Dan and he was an absolutely fabulous instructor - encouraging, patient, confident, and clearly loved his job. He made the whole experience so much fun. The rest of the staff was also extremely friendly and accommodating for first-timers and the price was very reasonable. I loved it so much that I am already planning my next ski trip! Many thanks to the entire Ski Cloudcroft team.
