We love Raton, New Mexico. It is peaceful, beautiful, and quiet. Did we mention the weather? Raton enjoys a beautiful climate. What to do in Raton, NM? It is close to local attractions, has many outdoor activities including hunting, fishing, shooting sports, hiking, kayaking, golf, and skiing. So many options to do, but our favorite part of spending time in Raton NM is enjoying our patio while cooking a meal together as a family and enjoying a cocktail or beer. The views from the house are pretty awesome!
