Hiking & Wilderness Access

Step straight into vast, untouched wilderness with direct access to Lincoln National Forest and surrounding BLM land. Miles of open terrain stretch in every direction—no crowds, no noise, just real backcountry.

Explore rugged canyon bottoms, climb into the surrounding mountains, or wander through high-desert forest at your own pace. This is true off-the-map hiking, not a paved trail system.

Wildlife is part of the experience. Elk, deer, javelina, coyotes, and a variety of birds are commonly seen moving through the area, especially during early morning and evening hours.

What you’ll notice most out here is the quiet. No traffic, no city noise—just wind through the trees and the occasional distant aircraft or passing Air Force jet reminding you the world still exists.

If you’re looking for solitude, space, and raw New Mexico landscape, it’s right outside your door.
