Angel Fire, New Mexico is tucked in The Moreno Valley at the base of the majestic Sangre de Christo mountain range just 90 miles south of the Colorado border. For many, this northern New Mexico destination aproximates the majestic, wooded terrain of Colorado far more that the mental image many prospective visitors will have of this sunny southwestern state. For this reason, this alpine haven offers an ideal location for active retirement as well as affordable resort living. The namesake itself has several possible origins with the glow of the red, orange and purple sunsets at the center of the various legends.
