Fox Cave, Historical cave in Ruidoso Downs, New Mexico.

Fox Cave is a cave on East Highway 70 between Roswell and Alamogordo, near Ruidoso, New Mexico. Its rock is mainly micritic limestone, eroded over thousands of years by the Ruidoso River. The owner built seven small buildings on the property, which from 2013 housed the Ruidoso River Museum; that museum has since closed and been replaced with a retailer.

Known as Ice Cave in the late 1800s and early 1900s, the cave was formed over thousands of years by the Ruidoso River eroding its micritic limestone. It served as a hideout for William H. Bonney, better known as Billy the Kid, a gunman of the Lincoln County War. From 2013 the Ruidoso River Museum occupied the site, with seven small buildings holding artifacts, photographs and documents on Billy the Kid, sheriffs William Brady and Pat Garrett and lawyer Alexander McSween; it later closed and was replaced by a retailer.
