If you’re looking for day-trip inspiration, we’ve got a couple of tips. Located 16 miles away, Red River is worth getting in the car for. Red River Ski Area should be high up on your list here. Mallette Park Nature Trail and Red River Nature Trail are fantastic attractions too. Locals will also likely point you toward Taos Ski Valley, 25 miles away. If you can only see one thing here, make sure it’s Al’s Run Ski Lift. (But we’d also recommend Wheeler Peak Wilderness Area and Horseshoe Lake.)
