Ruidoso is an idyllic destination for a romantic honeymoon in the Southwest. This mountain resort town is located in the heart of the Lincoln National Forest in Lincoln County, where it offers active vacationers a wide variety of outdoor activities.
The milder climate means that most activities can be enjoyed year-round – choose from golfing, hiking, zip-lining, biking and horse-back riding. The town offers a range of accommodation options to suit all budgets. Ruidoso is also home to the most southern US Ski resort at Ski Apache. Couples will also enjoy spending a day at Adventure Mountain where you can have fun on the ropes course or play some mini golf or laser tag.
