The sunset peaks over the mountain skyline, creating an exquisite purple and pink oversetting to the Mescalero Lake. The water paints a breathtaking reflection as the birds dance across the sky, and the only noise for miles are the peaceful sounds of nature. The Mescalero Apache Tribe agreed to build the Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort and Casino on their beautiful land, allowing the rest of the world to experience a little piece of their heaven on earth.
