It was uphill all the way, winding through the green mountains. But the temperature outside dropped from 79 in Alamogordo to 64 by the time we arrived at the casino.
We stopped at a historical marker that told us about the ancient volcano in the distance.
Here's the volcano. This was also the top of the pass and we made a left turn onto the road to the Inn of The Mountain Gods just as the road started down.
Now I'm sure you all want to see the pictures of this gorgeous casino built on the edge of a crystal clear green lake. The resort lobby is on the second floor with huge windows looking out over the lake. Unfortunately, I forgot to turn the camera on! So, you can click on this link Inn of the Mountain Gods to see just how beautiful this place is.
They also have big game hunting, a golf course, fishing, horseback riding and activities too numerous to list. Quite an impressive setup!
We signed up for our gambling club cards, checked out the casino, blew a total of $5 and left. Nice place to visit, but it just wasn't our style. We're sure glad we took the time to see this mountain top retreat.
