Don’t let its peaceful atmosphere fool you, Eldorado offers plenty to do for outdoor lovers and community-minded residents alike. Miles of paved and dirt trails wind through the landscape, attracting walkers, runners, bikers, and anyone who enjoys wide-open views. The Eldorado Community Center adds even more to the mix with tennis and basketball courts, soccer fields, a family-friendly pool, lap lanes, a dog park, and a playground.

The popular Eldorado Rail Trail connects south to the Galisteo Basin Preserve, one of the region’s top spots for hiking, mountain biking, and trail running. With its expansive open space, quiet mesas, and well-maintained horse stables, Eldorado is also a great place for horseback riding.

Life in Eldorado encourages you to slow down and breathe deeply. The rolling desert terrain, big skies, and surrounding mountain views create a sense of calm that’s hard to find anywhere else.

Eldorado has its own shopping center with a full-service grocery store, hardware store, restaurants, a gym, bank and weekly farmer’s market.
