Thinking of moving there, I'm retired and want a much smaller town to live in.

I've stopped there for gas and for lunch but have not spent any more time there than that.

Thanks!!!

And if you're interested in expanding your search to retirement-friendly, smaller towns across the state you may get a few more "hits".

Do a research on low yearly temperatures
There is one large grocery store, no Wally, Trinidad  co. has a Wally,pepole go there. Small towns across the country are depressed, Raton Dairy Queen  and Kentucky fried chicken closed.
Would suggest road trip to check out stuff for your self this spring summer.
Whittington center and the visitor center are outstanding

Las Vegas is larger medical falsities would be better

No, born in Arizona, lived in the southwest my whole life.

Where I live is being overrun by people from California, that is one reason I'm looking to move after almost 50 years.

I lived close by for several years. Love the area. It’s pretty desolate, not much in the way of amenities, medical care, and entertainment. I wouldn’t put it too high on my list in retirement.

On the plus side, you’ve got the Whittington, Valle Vidal, Vermejo Park, and the best cuisine around (Northern NM).

ETA, I think Vegas would be a better place overall. It would be awesome to live out of town a bit toward Mora.

I wont be any help to you OP, I am an Okie, but a few months ago I drove across the top part of the state from Clayton to Cimarron.

Most people would find that boring, desolate country but I loved it.  I could live there and be in heaven.  I don't mind driving 40 miles one way to shop for groceries, I do that now in SW OK.

Make a trip every couple weeks or so and fill the truck up.  Good luck with your search.  I will be passing through Raton in June as I look around the Westcliffe, Canon City, Salida area of Colorado.
