Ruidoso Strong: Why You Should Visit New Mexico’s Hidden Gem Resort Town After the Wildfires & Flood

Ahoy, welcome back to Adventure Sena!

Get ready for a unique and powerful episode of Adventure Sena! This time, we’re heading to the resilient village of Ruidoso, New Mexico. Recently ravaged by wildfires in the summer of 2024, followed by flooding and evacuations, this small town has faced enormous challenges. But this episode isn’t just about nature’s fury—it's about why you should still visit Ruidoso and support the incredible local community that relies on tourism to survive.

Despite the devastation, local heroes have kept Ruidoso’s heart beating. Restaurants, wineries, bars, and concert halls remain open, welcoming visitors with warmth and hospitality. The ski mountain is still operational, and the area’s natural beauty is as stunning as ever. We dive into the adrenaline-pumping activities at Winter Park, where we conquer the Screaming Eagle mountain gravity coaster and race down the mountain tubing lanes at high speed!

Our culinary adventure takes us to some of the best restaurants in town, where we savor local flavors and meet the dedicated folks keeping the spirit of Ruidoso alive. To top it all off, we experience a magical night at the iconic Spencer Theater. This renowned venue isn’t just a place to catch a concert—it’s home to mesmerizing Dale Chihuly glass exhibits that add an extra layer of beauty and wonder to the experience.

Join us in celebrating Ruidoso’s strength and vitality. Whether you’re seeking adventure, culture, or simply want to support a community in need, Ruidoso has something for everyone. Just remember to stay safe and heed weather advisories during your visit!
