Here in Sierra County New Mexico, you can play year-round – most winter days are mild enough for golf, hiking, fishing, biking and the like.

Summers can get a little hot (though we’d argue that “hot” is the whole point of summer) – but there are numerous ways to cool off: dip your toes into the Rio Grande, or one of our 2 lakes, plan a camping trip to the Gila, or take a day trip to one of the mining towns in the higher elevations – Kingston, Hillsboro, or Chloride.

Springtime is beautiful but it can be a mite windy. For expected wind conditions, check out Windmapping.com.

What’s the best time of year to visit? Depends on what you like to do (swim? soak? fly a kite?), and/or who you ask.
