At 8,750 feet, this New Mexico mountain town makes the desert heat feel like another planet
Red River sits deep in New Mexico’s Sangre de Cristo Mountains, and the air hits you differently up here. At 8,750 feet, the river running through the center of town is cold and clear, the Carson National Forest presses in from every side, and the temperature drops enough in summer to remind you why people started coming here in the first place.
