Title: New Mexico
Post by: Krusher on July 06, 2004, 09:07:09 AM
We just got back from vacation.  A friend of ours has a little cabin in the Cloudcroft area (near Ruidoso)  I have been thru the state before but never had time to tour.  I have to say I really enjoyed it.  

The mountains in that part of the state are beautiful.  Cloudcroft is about 8k and sierra blanca is about 10k.  Hiking at 7k was a bit of a chore for a guy from sea level and I can tell that at 44 years old I need more treadmill work LOL.  We drove up to the top of Sierra Blanca (or mount Baldy depending on who you ask) The view was amazing!

If I was a skier I might go back in the winter just to check it out.  It didnt look like it had the yuppies that Colorado attracts but I could be wrong.

Anyhow if your from the area its a nice place :)
