Coming in from Texas? Sierra Grande is the first serious mountain between Clayton and Gladstone! You can't see it from here but the most perfect extinct volcano in North America is just northwest of Sierra Grande. Capulin Mountain is a National Monument and worthy of a side trip on your way to or from your stay at the Woodlands on the River.

Not everyone who comes to Red River gets to see this, but if you don't come in winter there is no chance! This is a scene in Cimarron Canyon in late October!

Gladstone Mercantile between Clayton and Springer. Do yourself a favor and stop here for a taste of how stores were before they invented the Big Box! Fresh baked goods, buffalo burgers, cowboy hospitality, western gifts, snacks, ice cream and fuel! Be sure to use the restroom - it's neat!
| Cimarron Canyon waters in Winter! Wow! Too cold for wading but just right for a postcard. Woodlands on the River has a Facebook page. Become a fan and add your pictures to the site. |
Your first view in Winter of Eagle Nest Lake! Sometimes ice fishermen are seen enjoying the excitement of not falling through the ice while they fish for the illusive Rainbow trout and other species! Dress warm and give it a try!

Bambi says "hi" from a lawn in Red River. The deer are about to take over the town. Please come to Red River and make humans the most common species in town!

Not all the turkeys in NM are from Texas! This one in Cimmaron Canyon had lots of friends and seemed quite at home here!

The friendly deer grazing on the Woodlands property right beside Unit 6-3 almost every morning and evening. |
