Cimarron, New Mexico Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Cimarron was a stage stop on the Mountain Branch of the Santa Fe Trail, chartered in 1859, and the St. James Hotel is still a local landmark. At 6,421 feet on the eastern slope of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, it is about four miles from Philmont Scout Ranch, which draws more than 20,000 Scouts in a big summer.
We rent mobile kitchen trailers, dishwashing trailers, and emergency refrigeration trailers as short-term rentals or long-term leases. Call any hour or request availability and a quote for your Cimarron site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Cimarron
January lows near 20°F
Cimarron sees January lows near 20°F, cold enough to threaten exposed water lines. We confirm insulated connections and a freeze plan when we quote a winter term.
July highs near 85°F
Warm summers, with highs near 85°F, push refrigeration harder and make a hot cooking line uncomfortable. We plan ventilation and ask where the trailer can sit in shade.
Delivery from Santa Fe
Cimarron is roughly 80 miles from Santa Fe, within regional reach. The final road conditions and delivery window are confirmed with you before anything ships.
Where a mobile kitchen helps in Cimarron
Philmont summer season
Philmont reported 24,029 Scouts hiking in 2019, its largest season in 81 years, and its materials cite about 27,000 participants a summer. Support operations, nearby lodges, and trail-head businesses feeding that many people may want extra kitchen and dish capacity.
Wildfire evacuations and closures
The 2018 Ute Park Fire burned 36,740 acres, closed US 64 and NM 21, forced evacuations in Cimarron, and led Philmont to cancel all 2018 treks. When a fire closes roads and shelters residents, a trailer can feed evacuees and crews.
Cimarron Canyon recreation
Cimarron Canyon State Park is in the surrounding area. Camps, guide operations, and event organizers working in the canyon area can use a trailer for meals and dishwashing when a permanent kitchen is not available, is being rebuilt, or has gone down.
- Summer youth-camp kitchen and dishwashing support
- Wildfire evacuee and responder meal service
- Lodge and canyon event kitchen backup
Delivery from our Santa Fe warehouse to Cimarron
We keep equipment in Santa Fe, the New Mexico capital, and plan every delivery from there. Cimarron is about 80 miles from the warehouse as the crow flies; the actual road route, timing, and any permits are confirmed when we quote.
Getting a trailer to Cimarron
From Santa Fe, take I-25 north to NM 58 and follow it west about 19 miles to Cimarron on US 64. That avoids the mountain stretch of US 64 through Cimarron Canyon, though winter storms can still close roads in this area, so check NMDOT.
The closest towns we serve are Eagle Nest (about 20 miles), Springer (20 miles), and Maxwell (21 miles).
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour
The 2018 Ute Park Fire closed US 64, put Cimarron under a mandatory evacuation, and shut down Philmont's season. Wildfire and heavy winter snow remain risks here, and our 24/7 emergency deployment is built for kitchens and coolers disrupted by them.

How a rental works
Rentals run by the month, with short-term and long-term options. Delivery, setup, and pickup are coordinated for your site. An inquiry does not reserve equipment; a person confirms availability, delivery time, and terms with you. Hours: open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Setup usually takes about five hours for kitchens and dishwashing trailers and about one hour for refrigeration units, and an inquiry is the first step, not a reservation.

Frequently asked questions
Who permits a temporary kitchen in Colfax County?
The New Mexico Environment Department's Food Program permits food establishments and temporary food events across the state outside Bernalillo County. Contact the nearest NMED field office to confirm what your camp or event requires.
Is wildfire a concern for scheduling a trailer in summer?
Fire restrictions and closures can affect roads and equipment in this area. Check with local fire officials and NMDOT before dispatch, and share your fuel and generator plans when you reserve so the setup can be matched to any restrictions.
Can you deploy a kitchen to Cimarron in an emergency?
Yes. We answer 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and emergency deployment starts with a phone call to (888) 385-5513. Equipment ships from our Santa Fe warehouse, and we confirm availability and delivery time to Cimarron when we quote.

No. An inquiry starts the conversation only. Nothing is held until we have confirmed availability, delivery time, and terms with you.
