Angel Fire is located in the Moreno Valley in Colfax County, New Mexico, 23 miles east of Taos and 152 miles northeast of Albuquerque. The Moreno Valley is a mile long, 3 mile wide, alpine valley with an 8,382' base elevation. Surrounding mountains range from the 11,086' Agua Fria Peak on the south end of the valley to 12,441' Baldy Peak at the north end of the valley. Wheeler Peak, with a height of 13,161', is the highest mountain in the state and forms the northwest boundary of the valley

Angel Fire is a relatively "young" village for New Mexico and the northeastern part of the state. Angel Fire was only a concept until the 1960s, when land owners began to envision a "resort" area, complete with fishing, hunting, skiing and more. Full blown planning and construction began on the resort and ski area in the 1970s and has blossomed into one of the most popular family-friendly ski areas in the southwest.
