About Historic Black Range Lodge
Nestled in the foothills of the Gila National Forest, the historic Black Range Lodge is a step into the old West with original brick construction dating to the 1880s when the Lodge housed miners and cavalry. Its massive stone walls and log-beamed ceilings were built during the 1930s. The Lodge offers easy access to its wild, natural beauty. A short walk in the clean air takes you along a creek, into the shade of tall Ponderosa pines.
Centrally located in southwestern New Mexico, Kingston is an easy day trip to Spaceport America, Elephant Butte and Caballo Lakes, the hot springs of Truth or Consequences, White Sands, Las Cruces and old Mesilla.
