Red Road Retreat

The Red Road Retreat

What is the Red Road Retreat?
Eighty acres of beautiful mountain canyon land located in Mora County, Northern New Mexico. This property, elevation 8000 feet, has a year round spring fed creek, with deer, bear, elk, wild turkey, horny toads, snakes, and the normal inventory of other wild animals. The vegetation includes many species of pine, fir, spruce, cottonwood, aspen, oak, iris, and wild roses, just to mention a few. It is located within a tract of some 600+ acres of private land and access is through one locked gate. There are only a handful of private sections, all 40 acres or larger and only a few land owners. The other owners do not mind if you hike around - with respect for their privacy and properties. There are a few 'summer' cabins in the canyon, no permanent residences.

Sorry, no Out-House at this time. Bring a shovel or a port a-potty if no one else has a toilet to share.

Access: Usually, only snow in the winter or a heavy rain restricts access. The properly is accessible with any high clearance vehicle. Our subaru, truck, even our 97 taurus has made the trek up the unimproved road. We normally haul in our 30 foot 5th wheel. It takes some patience to get it parked but most such setups will probably work. The property is about one hour from Las Vegas, NM or from Wagon Mound, NM - Near Ocate. After leaving paved highway 120, the first 4 miles are dirt road and can be very muddy after a hard rain or snow melt. The last mile is a two track 'jeep' road - but we maintain it so that cars can get in unless you have one of those low clearance sport or fancy jobs. Don't take your Porsche or your low-rider. If your car has 5" of clearance - you can make it. You may have to move a few rocks after heavy rains. There is a locked gate as you enter the private land - so you will need to arrange to get a key. Just let us know and that can happen.
