Angel Fire Fly Fishing

The Moreno Valley is a place almost too beautiful for words. From the thirteenth century to the end of the nineteenth century, Native Americans roamed northern New Mexico's majestic Moreno Valley in the Southern Rockies on their journey toward the Taos Pueblo, a major cultural and trade center. Apache, Comanche, Kiowa, Ute and Plains tribes traveled through the area, and some established encampments.

Local Legend says Native Americans christened the mystical alpine glow "fire of the angels" or "the land of angel fire," which eventually transpired into the present-day name Angel Fire.

Today, Angel Fire is a top four-season, family-oriented destination resort community in the Southern Rocky Mountains of Northeast New Mexico. More than a ski or golf resort, Angel Fire is an 18,450-acre, year-round Mecca for outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds.

In winter you can traverse miles of well-groomed downhill and cross-country ski trails, or partake in snow boarding, snow biking, ice skating, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, skiblading, tubing, horseback riding and ice fishing.

In spring, summer and fall you can golf on the 6,641-yard, par 72, 18-hole PGA-rated golf course, go lake and river fishing, take a horseback ride, go for a hike, take a mountain bike journey, ride the chairlift to the 10,650-foot peak, play tennis, miniature golf or disc golf, take a relaxing wagon ride or an exciting ATV tour.
