Legend has it that Moache Utes once gathered in the area and described the glow against Agua Fria Peak as the "fire of the gods." Traveling Franciscan friars interpreted the name as the "place of the fire of angels."
In 1845 Lucien Maxwell and "Kit" Carson, coined the phrase "Angel Fire." Before 1864, when Maxwell acquired full rights to the 1.7 million-acre land grant, the Moreno Valley was pasture and hunting land occupied mostly by the Utes and Jicarilla Apaches.

In 1867, however, everything changed when gold was discovered. Within a year, fortune hunters flooded the area and as they say, the rest is history.
Spring and summer have an average annual precipitation of 7 inches with moderate temperatures varying from early morning lows in the mid-40s to mid-afternoon highs of 75 degrees with very low humidity levels. In the summertime you might need a sweater or light jacket for cool evenings. Autumn is brisk and dry. Winter temperatures are generally moderate, averaging in mid-30s in the daytime to mid-teens in the early morning. Average annual snowfall is 140 inches in the valley and over 200 inches in the ski area.

Winter brings skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling or sledding, our cool summers attract golfers, fishermen, hikers, mountain bikers, horseback riders, 4-wheelers and families just wanting to get away from the heat and hectic pace of city life. Family-oriented events all year includes arts and crafts fairs, hot air balloon festival and air show.
Eagle Nest Lake has 2,200 surface acres and offers year-round fishing for trout and salmon. Monte Verde Lake is another summer attraction.

You'll find New Mexico's finest blue-ribbon water and several varieties of Rocky Mountain trout. Go white water rafting down the Rio Grande and Rio Chama.
