Our namesake river is stocked with more trout than any other public river in the country. So don't wait till winter to bring your family to Red River. Our location in the heart of the Carson National Forest and Wheeler Peak Wilderness Area allows easy access to Mother Nature's vast playground all year long. Take a hike, have a mountain-top lunch, or challenge yourself to a mountain bike ride on the roads and trails of our mountain. Road grades are generally less steep than mountain trails and are easier for beginner and intermediate bikers to ride.
Helmets are mandatory for cyclists.
Use our complimentary Nature Trail Guide to enjoy a self-guided hike on the nature trail at your own pace. The roundtrip chairlift ride takes at least one hour. Most people allow half a day to explore the mountain or just relax and enjoy our crisp, clean mountain air. The chairlift rises one and one-quarter miles above the town of Red River to an elevation of 10,350 feet. 4 to 12 Seniors are aged 60 to 69 Seniors 70 and over and children three and under ride free.
