The Birth Of Angel Fire, NM

One of the youngest towns in New Mexico Is Angel Fire. Before being established in the 1860's by Lucien B. Maxwell and Christopher (Kit) Carson this land was once home to the nomadic Moache Ute and the Jicarilla Apache tribes. They spent the fall and summer months enjoying the vast mountain land and called it " fire of the gods" due to the sun setting behind Auga Fria Peak looking like fire on the mountain. In 1885 Carson gave it the name Angel Fire.

In the mid 1800's Maxwell acquiredand a 1.7 million acre property which became known as the Maxwell Land Grant. In 1867 gold was discovered on Mount Baldy and even though it was private property, it was soon filled with prospectors searching for gold.

In 1918 Charles and Frank Springer (Owners of the SH Ranch) Built the Eagle Nest dam, taming the Cimarron river and conserving water for Colfax County.

In 1954 Roy and George LeBus, bought the 9,000 acre Monte Verde Ranch and in 1956 purchased another 14,000 acres from the Maxwell Land Grant Company. Ten years after the purchase, it was decided that they would transform it into a Resort Community, keeping the name Angel Fire.

In 1966 construction began and after 18 months, the first ski runs were cut. A 9 hole golf course was also constructed and Monte Verde Lake was ready for visitors. Word spread quickly of the new resort which put a demand in for more accommodations. In 1971 the first condos were built, Because of the growing population and the need to take on more investors, the LeBus family sold the resort to the Baca Grande Angel Fire Corporation, retaining 1000 acres of the original land for themselves.

Over the years, the resort was sold several times. In 1996 most areas of dispute were finally settled and now Angel Fire is the Resort you know today comprising of four season fun the whole family can enjoy.

The Historic" Laguna Vista Lodge" In Eagle Nest NM,

Located in the little valley town of Eagle Nest NM, originally named "Therma", sits the Laguna Vista Lodge or as locals call it the "Guney". Originally named The El Monte, built in 1898 with stolen railroad ties, some still visible today.

The El Monte was the busiest saloon in the 1920's and 30's when the big money guys, as well as the gold miners from Elizabethtown stopped by after a day at the races in Raton, NM. With the gold miners gambling with gold nuggets at the gaming tables, slot machines, and more, it was the place to be! It was at this time that the name was changed to the Laguna Vista Lodge and was operated by Gene and Pearl Wilson. In the early 1950's is was purchased by Bob and Edith Sullivan. The Sullivan's saw the popularity of Eagle Nest growing so they built the "new" edition to the hotel in 1964. Later on in 1971 Bert Clemens bought it and still runs it to this day.

The more mysterious history of the "Guney" is the permanent guest that resides there, Its said that a bride and groom spent there honeymoon there. The groom went out one day to go hunting but never returned! The destitute bride was forced to work in the hotel, some say as a saloon girl. People say her spirit still lingers there in the old motel looking for her long lost husband! They say she also lurks in the saloon and dining hall.
