| Data extracted from weather history at the Western Regional Climate Center. |
Grant County enjoys four gentle seasons, with cool evenings common even in the middle of summer.
The Ranch's location in the center of the county keeps us out of the hottest weather, found in the desert areas to the south. Our location also provides favorable winds in summer, keeping the Ranch comfortable.
Although sunny days in summer can occasionally reach 100 degrees, especially in the south of the County, nighttime temperatures can be cooler by 30 degrees or more. After the arrival of summer monsoon rains, cooling can take place rapidly any time after a rain.
How cold does it get?
Because of our low-humidity environment, temperature swings from day to night can be pronounced in the winter: The dry air heats up rapidly, but cools rapidly, as well. December and January nights can sometimes see temperatures in the teens or high single-digits, but the following afternoon can see temperatures in the 40s, 50s or higher.
For our winter guests, we ask that you disconnect water connections at night. Our freeze-proof faucets are designed for our climate, but cannot be in use when temperatures are below freezing.
How much snow do you get?
Each winter brings one or two snow storms to the County, although it is unusual for snow to persist on the roads in the southern and central part of the county for more than a day, and snow accumulation of any amount in the south is not common.
The Ranch typically sees snow once or twice a year. The snow we receive rarely lasts on the roads for more than a few hours, and rarely on the ground for more than a day.
Can I receive mail while at the Ranch?
Certainly! Please note that to assure prompt delivery of your mail, it must be addressed as follows:
Guest Name

2040 Memory Lane
Silver City, New Mexico 88061
UPS and Fedex shipments may be sent to our physical address of 2040 Memory Lane, Silver City, NM 88061. US Postal Service mail sent to our physical address may be delayed or go undelivered.
Do you offer Internet access?
Yes! We offer free high-speed wireless Internet access. You can find more details here. We also have telephone access in our laundry facility for Internet dial-up access. Please use a calling card or pre-paid card for long-distance calls.
Do you offer cable television?
No. There is no reasonably price cable option for RV facilities in Grant County; as a result, none of these facilities offer cable television.
