Angel Fire, Mountain resort town in Colfax County, New Mexico.
Angel Fire is a mountain village in the Moreno Valley situated at about 8,400 feet elevation, surrounded by peaks that exceed 11,000 feet. The area features a ski resort with slopes for winter sports and an airport that serves private aviation throughout the year.
The village started as a planned community in 1967, built from undeveloped mountain land into a year-round destination. Its growth was shaped by ski resort development and infrastructure improvements over the following decades.
The Music from Angel Fire festival brings chamber music performances to different locations throughout the village during summer months, creating connections between musicians and audiences. These events shape the cultural rhythm of the community and draw music lovers to the area.
The high elevation means visitors should allow time to adjust and stay well hydrated during their visit. Winter brings snow conditions while summer and fall offer the best conditions for hiking and outdoor activities.
The village airport operates at one of the highest runway elevations in the United States, making flights here a distinct experience. Private aircraft can land here, making the location accessible for aviation enthusiasts.
