Lincoln National Forest in Ruidoso, New Mexico is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. Spanning 1.1 million acres of mountains, deserts and canyons, the forest has something for everyone. Whether you’re looking for a challenging hike, a thrilling mountain bike ride or a relaxing camping trip, Lincoln National Forest has it all.
The forest is home to an array of wildlife, ranging from mule deer and elk to bald eagles and black bears. But there’s more to the area than just animals. The variety of climates in the area make it possible to experience four distinct seasons: cool summers and mild winters at the high elevations; warm summers and cold winters in the valleys; and hot summers with mild winters at the lower elevations.
The scenery is breathtaking with its dramatic snow-capped peaks, lush alpine meadows and deep canyons filled with pine forests. There’s something special about seeing a bright blue sky framed by towering ponderosa pines, aspen trees and Douglas firs. A variety of recreational activities are available year-round in Lincoln National Forest. From skiing in winter to rock climbing in summer, there's something for everyone to enjoy.
If you're looking for relaxation instead of adventure, there are plenty of spots where you can kick back and take in the views. For example, Grassy Meadow offers panoramic views of Sierra Blanca Peak (also known as White Mountain), which rises 12,000 feet above sea level. For some peace and quiet away from it all, check out Agua Fria Campground on Bonito Lake -- surrounded by tall ponderosa pines and aspen trees that turn golden yellow during fall months -- or Bottomless Lakes State Park near Roswell where you can fish or bird watch among crystal clear lakes surrounded by sand dunes.
Whether you're seeking an adrenaline rush or just want to relax while taking in the beauty of nature around you, Lincoln National Forest has it all waiting for you!
