Red River is a world away from the hustle and bustle. But getting here is like falling off a log—easy, that is. It's a beautiful 165-mile drive from Albuquerque International Sunport. In fact, we're the closest Rocky Mountain resort to Texas and Oklahoma. Our town is very walkable, but if you need a lift just take the Miner's Transit, our trolley that runs throughout the town, call 770-5959 for pick up.
