Cloudcroft has always been a place where people come to escape, to breathe, to reconnect with nature and each other. Since 1899, visitors have been falling in love with these mountains - and many have never left.
Today, our small village of about 750 year-round residents welcomes thousands of visitors each year. We're artists and astronomers, retirees and remote workers, families who've been here for generations and newcomers who arrived last month. What unites us is a deep appreciation for this special place and a genuine desire to share it with others.
Discover Cloudcroft is a community effort, and we welcome your involvement in making it even better.
