Red River Valley NM
 

We will be traveling to Red River Valley and the surrounding areas with our 3 daughters age 16, 11 and 8. We will be going for 3-4 days, the 1st part of August 2009. We are looking for cabins and things to do in the area. I am hoping someone can give me advice.
Thank you

Go down to Bandelier NP. it is fantastic, has ancient dwellings carved into the rock of the mountainside. There is a part of the park that is 5 miles down the road and not so well visited but the hike is great for kids your ages and it gives a look at what an area looks like that has not been reconstructed.

The website to the Red River Community House (http://www.redrivercommunityhouse.org) has links to the Chamber of Commerce and several dozen hotels, beds and breakfasts, and cabins. The Community House hosts 343 free family and children activities during the summer, about 4 per day. Especially neat activities for families is the guided hikes to Middlefork Lake, Wild Rivers Area, and three other guided hikes each week.

Your daughters will also enjoy CHILL!, the Community House's weekly teenage night with free pizza, wiis, guitar heros, and live bands.

See the Calendar on the website for activities during the first week of August.

Please e-mail if I can be of help.

We have a two bedroom condo in Taos Ski Valley with two sets of bunkbeds in the 2nd bedroom - perfect for your size family. There is LOTS to do in the whole Enchanted Circle area of northern New Mexico! We are not in Red River, so if youa re definite about that area for your whole trip, we won't be appropriate, but check us out at http://vrbo.com/207104 and http://thewrightretreat.shutterfly.com. Then look at the Taos Ski Valley Chamber website for activities in the area - www.taosskivalley.com.

If you have never visited Red River, You Will Love It! Such a beautiful majestic little town!
