The town has basic services including fuel stations, restaurants, and a grocery store, making it a convenient overnight stop without the higher prices and congestion of Albuquerque. The Estancia Valley stretching in every direction is wide-open ranch and farmland with dramatic mountain views -- the Sandia and Manzano ranges to the west and the rolling plains to the east. The annual Moriarty Pinto Bean Fiesta in October celebrates the area's agricultural heritage with food, music, and community events. RV parks in Moriarty offer straightforward hookups at affordable rates, serving the steady stream of I-40 travelers looking for a clean, quiet place to park for the night. The high-altitude location at 6,200 feet keeps summer nights comfortably cool for sleeping without AC on most evenings, and the wide-open Estancia Valley views with mountain backdrops provide a scenic setting that belies the town's small and quiet character.
