Lincoln and Fort Stanton
Explore Lincoln Historic Site and Fort Stanton from a comfortable Capitan base. These day trips combine adobe buildings, Old West history, scenic roads and the wide-open landscapes that make Lincoln County memorable.
Walk the historic streets of Lincoln, learn the story of Billy the Kid and continue to Fort Stanton for more frontier history and high-desert scenery. A stay in Capitan keeps the route flexible, with Ruidoso, Smokey Bear and local dining ready for the rest of your trip.
