Take a step back from the hectic pace of the city and come to Mountainair to breathe deeply the fresh mountain air at 6,000-feet elevation. Whether you want to walk the quiet beauty of the forests in the Manzano Mountains or sip a mocha in the cool of a summer afternoon as white clouds drift across azul skies, Mountainair has much to offer the weary traveler, day tripper from Albuquerque, or a railroad buff. Come experience Mountainair and the beauty of Central New Mexico.
