Cloudcroft

This compact village in New Mexico's Lincoln National Forest, Cloudcroft sits at high elevation in forested mountains, offering mild summers as a contrast to the surrounding desert lowlands. A handful of cafés and restaurants serve the village, and scenic viewpoints in the surrounding terrain make it a base for exploring the mountains. Tourism is the primary driver of the local economy.
