Angel Fire is a high-altitude haven in New Mexico's Moreno Valley. At 8,400 feet above sea level the valley is surrounded by towering mountains typically splashed by spectacular sunrises and sunsets.
The Ute Indians gave Angel Fire its name when they saw those glowing skies and called it the "fire of the angels."
