Enjoy Angel Fire and the Moreno Valley like never before. Take in the beautiful mountain views as our scenic chairlift takes you to the mountain summit at 10,677 feet. Once at the top, you can enjoy disc golf and hiking, and enjoy lunch with a view from the Summit Haus.

When you are ready to head back, you have the option of either hiking down or riding the chairlift back to the base area. The views on the way down allow you to see the entire valley, Wheeler Peak, and Eagle Nest Lake State Park.

While at the summit you can enjoy:

• Disc Golf
• Our scenic hiking trails
• Summit Haus

Lightning Policy

During monsoon season thunderstorms with lightning are likely to occur every afternoon. When we experience lightning, this is what happens with the chairlift:

When lightning strikes are detected within 30 miles, we begin closely monitoring the radar.

At a 20-mile range, we stop allowing foot passengers to load the chairlift at the base until there have been no strikes for 30 minutes. (Mountain bikers may continue to load, as they don’t rely on the lift to return to the base.)

If a strike occurs within 10 miles, the chairlift will close to all passengers and be shut down until there are no strikes for 30 minutes. (Foot passengers already at the top may have to wait up to two hours for either a shuttle or the lift to resume operation after the lightning hold.)
