Welcome to Cloudcroft
At 9,000 feet above stress level, the charming mountain village of Cloudcroft owes its existence to the beauty that surrounds it. Beautiful scenery and spectacular unspoiled vistas are encountered at every turn. In particular, the view from the overlook near New Mexico's only tunnel and the graceful old wooden Mexican Canyon trestle that nestles in a canyon just outside of the village should not be missed. This much photographed remnant of the old logging and excursion railroad has come to be a kind of unofficial symbol of Cloudcroft. High mountain meadows and cool air are a welcome relief from the surrounding desert on either approach. Warm summer days are sprinkled with mountain showers that come and go quickly but which leave behind a variety of wildflowers that blanket the meadow and line the roads. Summer temperatures reach the upper 70's but the nighttime lows remain in the cool 40's and 50's.
