The Village of Ruidoso is a resort

above sea level. The Spanish name,
comes from the Rio Ruidoso or
"Noisy River," which runs through
the center of town.
Winters are mild and summers cool. The air is clean and dry. You'll find beautiful scenery, warm friendly people, outstanding shops, restaurants, galleries and spectacular summer skies.
