Cimarron, New Mexico to Eagle Nest Lake

[@chuckwilson2301]

Always fun seeing Cimarron, and driving through Cimarron canyon.

Thankyou for this video. my father grew up in this area and I always wanted to see it. I have a older twin brother burried in Union co. N.M. IN what was then called Cuatas N.M. back in 1929. .

I grew up going to this area with my father in the late eighties and early nineties. We went to Eaglenest so much. I remember one winter ending up in Red River and it was so beautiful covered in snow. My dad obliged me the one time and took me to the St James Hotel; even though we didn't stay, we were given such a cool tour! Every summer of my childhood was spent at YMCA Camp Shaver in the Jemez, right next to Battleship Rock. I am so fortunate to have grown up in this beautiful corner of the world. 🥰

[@OutdoorsWithRon]

Very fortunate indeed!!

[@kingforaday8725]

Yeah!! Me too!!! My dad, uncle and I for many years would go to Eaglenest in early July. Back in the mountains west of Eaglenest is a cabin and campground of a boys organization called the Maverick Club. We would get the place ready for the members to visit in July and August before school started. Many memories of hiking and fishing in the area.

Went on this drive before the first with my folks in 2017. We were just cutting thru to Eagle Nest and had no idea of the beautiful drive we had ahead of us thru the canyon. That descent down to the valley over the damn was one of the most spectacular views on that whole trip, and dare I say one of the prettiest views in all of New Mexico. Glad to hear the area is healing from the blaze. Likely going to go back thru there later this spring/summer to see it again

[@OutdoorsWithRon]

V - Pony I agree , coming down from the dam the view is breathtaking!!

@@davidl.-pl7rb Red River, NM is one of the most under-recognized places in the U.S.

[@johnmcnulty4425]

So nice to see the St. James and the Tooth of Time ridge. Pennsylvania is a long way away from my old jobs at Philmont, but is with me forever!

THANKYOU. My grandfathervran to Taos when he kidnapped my dad at age 4. Cimmeron. Eagles nest .Raton.. Moses. Vista's neat what was Moses and Clayton. But Eagles nest has a lot of memories dad talked about. T.Grandad did a lot of trapping here. 1909 to 1937 when they moved to OKLA..

[@ethelchapman6780]

Correction. Raton .. Moses .. Cuatas And Clayton. You will only find Cuatas On older maps. It was just above Moses.

[@OutdoorsWithRon]

[@LindaWolfe20]

Hi Dixie...

[@OutdoorsWithRon]

No ma'am, I stayed at the less than opulent Cimarron Inn 😂 It is definitely nice and cool, especially at night. With the low humidity it is fantastic.

[@dixierose5628]

Lone Star Travelers hey Sweety!👋🏼

[@dixierose5628]

Outdoors With Ron 👍🏻so glad Your having such a great time on your travels!😊. It’s fun coming along for the ride.👋🏼

[@dixierose5628]

Outdoors With Ron I cant imagine cool temps in the heat of summer😊😊😊👍🏻 I’d want to stay there til summer was over! Haha

[@SusanH4626]

You missed calling out the Tooth of Time on the Philmont ranch

[@LindaWolfe20]

We were there about 2 years ago one of our favorite places to see and visit.. wish we were there now instead of this hot Texas... so awful about the fire...

[@okiedragonlady2]

How's the summer temps there???

[@OutdoorsWithRon]

They are fantastic, with the very low humidity even temps in the 90s are comfortable… Thanks for watching!!

[@chuckwilson2301]

The summer temperatures are nice there usually in the low to mid 70’s most of the time. The last couple of years have seen the temperature up to mid 80’s a few times. That’s at Eagle Nest.

[@JB-rt4mx]

Good poopers at the lake

[@OutdoorsWithRon]

Agreed!! Thanks for watching
