New Mexico Mountain Retreats and Weekend Getaways

by Phillip Ross on August 3, 2010

With all that Santa Fe has to offer you may find that you don’t want to leave. But don’t let that stop you. Santa Fe is centrally located making it the ideal location to set out to explore New Mexico. There are many day trips or weekend getaways available within a two to three hour drive. To the north you will want to discover the enchanting towns of Chama, Taos or Red River, each offering a variety of dining and lodging options as well as outdoor activates including hiking, rafting or skiing. 

Traveling south of the City Different offers an array of captivating landscapes with such destinations as Ruidoso, Silver City and Ramah, New Mexico. This picturesque territory is also home to Timberlake Ranch featuring unlimited outdoor activities. The entrance to the ranch is through a canyon with towering bluffs.  You soon come to a small rise in the road and there lies the 7000 acre Timberlake Ranch nestled in a beautiful valley surrounded by the Cibola National Forest.

Horseback riding is incredible on the extensive equestrian trails that lead directly into the surrounding National Forest. The monumental beauty here boasts red rock bluffs, Ramah Lake, Ponderosa Pines and Indian ruins all to be discovered while hiking on trails in every direction. Enjoy a quality lifestyle immersed in magnificent beauty and experience wildlife encounters on a daily basis.

Timberlake Ranch is home to the trophy fishing Ramah Lake. Enjoy the 100 acre lake while fishing, canoeing or enjoying the backdrop views of the waterfalls and Ponderosa pines. At a breathtaking 7000 feet elevation, the ranch offers an ideal setting for a spectacular weekend or full time residence.
