Located in the picturesque Moreno Valley, just a half hour east of Taos, Angel Fire sits on the valley floor at 8,420 feet with surrounding mountains rising to nearly 11,000 feet. At the northern end of the valley, Wheeler Peak (New Mexico’s highest) sits at a majestic 13,161 feet.
Every season in Angel Fire offers new temptations. Our perfect weather is nice and snowy in the winter, and never hot in the summer. We have sunny days and amazingly starry nights. Late spring and summer bring armloads of wildflowers, while fall offers mountainsides of golden aspens.
