Less than 2 hours from El Paso, Texas, you will find this outdoor mountain haven. Temperatures are much cooler & there are so many things to do as a family! Check out my top 5 Things to Do with Kids in Cloudcroft below!
#1: Take a Hike
Bluff Springs
This is a perfect kid-friendly hike, as the waterfall is right at the trailhead & there is some easy hiking up into the woods with a trail that follows along a stream! All of the kids had an amazing time playing & running around!
Bridal Veil Falls
Another relatively easy hike to a beautiful waterfall-believe me, you won’t feel like you’re in the desert anymore!

#2: Big Foot Headquarters
Be warned, if you go here, your kid will be entertained the rest of the weekend “Hunting for Sasquatch!” This full immersive experience includes a gift shop & a tour where your kids can go looking for Big Foot! It was a lot of fun & a great stop for ice Cream!!
