Welcome Committee

Natural To These Parts

One of the intangibles that really sets our property and area apart is its relaxed rhythm of life and the genuinely friendly, hospitable folks who live here.

If it’s true that you can tell a lot about a place by the kind of people it attracts, Turtleback Mountain Resort has a compelling story to tell.  We would like to introduce you to some of our locals who’ll share why they’re here, what they love about the place and some of their recommendations – a kind of insider’s guide – on things to do in this part of Southern New Mexico.   The style and personality of this small town community embraces the personalities and the participations of our residents, our staff and the local townsfolk.

Real people. Real places. Real experiences.
