At base elevation of 8,410 feet (2100 meters) and summit of over 10,000 feet, it is dominated by a ski resort, but offers four-season activities, and is also well-known for being the home to a Vietnam Veterans Memorial, now a state park.

The nearest Amtrak railroad station is in Raton, 80 miles away.
