Cloudcroft has several things to do from hiking to shopping downtown! There are some great resturants such as Mad Jacks, Big Daddy's Dinner, and The Cloudcroft Brewing Company which often has live music on the weekends. If you want to go fishing the Silver Springs RV Park and Trout pond is a great place to catch some Rainbow Trout. Right at the edge of town is the Mexican Canyon Railroad Trestle. This is a good hiking spot and it has a beautiful overlook point. Less than an hour away is White Sands National Park or Ruiodoso Downs. Two and a half hours away is Carlsbad Caverns.
