Cimarron, New Mexico
"In the magnificent fierce morning
of New Mexico, one sprang awake,
a new part of the soul woke up
suddenly and the old world gave
way to the new."

Cimarron's name even means "wild" in Spanish.  According to local
lore, murder was such an everyday occurrence in the 1870s that
peace-and-quiet "Cimarron once ranked among the rowdiest of Wild
West towns; it's was newsworthy, one paper going so far to
report:"Everything is quiet in Cimarron. Nobody has been killed in three
days."

Today the town is indeed quiet, luring nature minded travelers who want
to enjoy the great outdoors.  Driving here to or from Taos, you'll pass
through gorgeous Cimarron Canyon State Park, a steep-walled canyon
with several hiking trails, excellent trout fishing and camping.

Each of the 15 spotless motel rooms at the Cimarron Inn & RV Park
(575.376.2268, 800.546.2244; www.cimarroninn.com; Hwy 64; campsites

comes with a Cimarron-related theme, from fishing and hunting to
Native American and Will James, a cowboy writer and illustrator.  
There's a fun rock shower in the ski room.  Units range from small
singles to cabins that can bunk the extended family.  Some have
kitchenettes.  It's a good budget choice before reaching the more
expensive mountain resorts
