Directions

Red River is located in the southern Rocky Mountains, part of the Sangre de Cristo Range. The village is completely surrounded by Carson National Forest. Winter visitors enjoy excellent skiing on the 10,350-foot mountain, which rises from the middle of town toward the old, western mining sites of the 1800s. Skiers tackle 57 runs on 270 skiable acres of varied terrain to suit every ability. You can even ski to a replica of the Moon Star Mine of the 1890s. Snowboarders are welcome on all trails. Skier services at Red River include rental equipment, ski shop, ski school, Kinderplay for 4- and 5-year-olds, Kinderski for 6- to 10-year-olds, child care and NASTAR racing. There is also a cafeteria and restaurants on the mountain.

Just three miles from Red River lies the Enchanted Forest Cross-Country Ski Area offering 30 km of groomed trails and incredible scenery. An inexpensive Learn-to-Ski package includes lesson, rental and trail pass. Sleds are also available for skiing with infants. If you would like a change of pace, try snowmobiling. Several local tour companies can set you up to take a trip from lush canyons up Sawmill Mountain to the breathtaking view of Greenie Peak. There are plenty of lodging accommodations to choose from, as well as dining and apres-ski locations.
