The 10 Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Ruidoso, New Mexico (NM)

July 19, 2021 Terina Blouin

Situated ideally at the center between the Lincoln National Forest to the south and the northeast and the Valley of Fires State Park to the northwest, Ruidoso is a still-sleepy mountain town despite its recent growth and popularity with tourists. The majestic Sierra Blanca towers over the city, tempting snow bunnies to the slopes of nearby Ski Apache. The race track at Ruidoso Downs and the casino at the Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort promise chance and adventure of a different sort.

Absolutely worth your time!!! From the start of booking our massages to the end was a great experience. Cheris was my massage therapist and she was amazing!! Listened to what my needs were and massaged away!! I then added on an Aveda plant based Glycolic peel from Meagan who I absolutely loved!!! She was extremely knowledgeable and gave me great advice on skincare!! The treatment was wonderful and if I lived closer she would be my esthetician!! Loved my entire experience!!! My friend had Fabian as her massage therapist... and said he was probably the best she has ever had... can’t wait to visit again and come back to this spa!!!

We loved the wines here. There was a wide variety of dry reds (our favorites) as well as whites and roses. A trip to the winery the next day opened up new wines and ciders. We joined the wine club and look forward to our shipments.
