About Cimarron

Cimarron is a small town in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of Northeast New Mexico. Popular in the summer for world-class fly-fishing in the Cimarron River it is the closest town to Philmont Boy Scout Ranch. Outside of the town, the area is dominated by very large ranches, some owned by celebrities or wealthy corporate scions. The town's historic downtown area was once a stopping point for settlers heading west on the Santa Fe Trail, and it still has the feeling of a dusty frontier town.
