What's in the shop

Does many things well — boutique gifts, Nambe wear, hunting and fishing licenses, and outdoor gear. Plus NM-made goods, pantry and provisions, home goods, boots, and clothing across a beautiful, expansive shop floor.

What I'd buy

House specialty
"A piece of Nambe wear. Design-forward, unmistakably New Mexico, and the item that signals the shop's boutique-gift quality most cleanly."

Nambe wear

Practical mountain pickup
"A New Mexico hunting or fishing license. The category the rest of Cloudcroft retail doesn't cover — the reason a fishing-day stop here makes sense."

Hunting or fishing license

Boutique gift
"A boutique gift item or a small NM-made piece. Gift-quality finishing across the floor — the wide-array advantage in one bag."

Hunting & fishing licenses

The Highland sells New Mexico hunting and fishing licenses on-site — a practical layer most Cloudcroft retail doesn't cover. If your trip includes a fishing day or a hunting season, this is the licensing stop on the mountain.

Building & the Highway-82 stop

206 James Canyon Hwy is on Highway 82 — a destination stop, not a Burro Avenue stroll. The shop building itself is part of the appeal: beautiful, expansive, and built to hold a wide array of merchandise without crowding.

Parking, payment & accessibility

Parking on-site along JCH. Card and cash standard. Specific accessibility details for 206 JCH aren't documented; confirm before relying on it.

Editor's take

"The Highland does many things, and does them well — boutique gifts, Nambe wear, hunting and fishing licenses, outdoor gear, NM-made goods, pantry, home. The selection is genuinely curated: nothing on the floor feels like filler. And the shop itself is beautiful — a wide, expansive room that gives every category space to breathe. Plan an hour."
