Start your journey across the Southernmost Rocky Mountains from the center of it all, Pinecliff Village. Close to a spectrum of alpine activities, wilderness hiking, stream and lake trout fishing, high-mountain trail rides on horseback or mountain bike, or skiing New Mexico’s greatest lift-capacity mountain, Ski Apache. Wander the historical sites of Old Lincoln and the legend of Billy The Kid, the site of historic Fort Stanton, the ancient etchings of Three Rivers Petroglyph National Monument, the ruins of The Salinas Pueblo Missions, or the Smokey Bear Historical Monument to discover the story of the real Smokey Bear. Pinecliff Village is close to all this plus all the shops and restaurants in the village of Ruidoso.
