text: Warm weather adventures in ruidoso new mexico 31 ruidoso, new mexico is an incredible place for the outdoor adventurer. Well known to both texas tourists and new mexico locals, this mountain town is a hot spot for off the beaten path adventures in both summer and winter. While i had an incredible time exploring things to do during the warm weather season, i'd love to return when there is snow and see things in a whole new light. From zip lining to horseback riding to hiking and incredible mountain vistas, i kept my schedule packed.
