Cloudcroft (pop: 750) is a village in Otero County, New Mexico and is within the Lincoln National Forest. At 8,600 feet (2,600 m) above sea-level in an otherwise arid region, the mild summer makes it a popular tourist attraction in West Texas and New Mexico.

Tourism remains the primary economic driver of the village. There are several communities linked with Cloudcroft: Weed, Lost Lodge, Sunspot, Mayhill, Piņon, and Timberon.

Tour Carlsbad Caverns National Park
Discover a whole separate world when you enter the largest underground caverns in the world.

Cloudcroft is home to three festivals, each taking place at Zenith Park. Various arts and crafts are sold from local and regional artists, live music and entertainment is provided, activities and competitions are held, and local civic groups and churches sell traditional fair food. May Fair is seen as the kickoff of the summer tourist season on Memorial Day Weekend. The weekend following 4th of July is the July Jamboree, the smallest of the three festivals but also the newest. In October, the third and final event, Octoberfest, is celebrated. It has an autumn atmosphere with the local aspen groves turning rather than a traditional Octoberfest. Octoberfest is seen as a final outdoor event before the winter snow and the close of the traditional tourist season.
