Welcome to Carson Cabin! This cozy mountainside cabin is nestled in the Upper Red River Valley, which is surrounded by Carson National Forest at 9,100 ft elevation. Just minutes from the town of Red River, you have access to shopping and dining, while enjoying the peacefulness of the mountains in a beautiful cabin.
Located in the Enchanted Circle, there are endless opportunities to explore and have fun all year long! You can hike, fish, ride, and/or bike during the spring, summer, and fall months or take advantage of some of the best snow sports in the country all winter. If relaxing is more your vibe, Carson Cabin is the perfect location to sit on the deck and watch a mountain sunrise while enjoying a cup of joe.

PARKING
In addition to driveway parking, the circle drive provides enough space for 3-4 vehicles or a trailer carrying all your favorite mountain toys. During winter months, when there is snow or ice on the ground, the driveway should not be used for parking out of an abundance of caution.
NOTE: The last mile of the drive is via dirt roads. Cars and sedans will have no issues accessing the cabin during warm weather months. However, all-wheel or 4-wheel drive vehicles are needed during the winter (snow chains may be necessary in extreme conditions). Winter weather in New Mexico can be unpredictable, so please prepare accordingly. Please also note that all-wheel or 4-wheel drive vehicles are recommended in the spring (April to early May) when roads can become muddy due to the snow melting.
