The Santa Fe National Forest
is one of the five National Forests in New Mexico. The National
Forests are America's great outdoors, here to serve the American
people at work and play. Some of the finest mountain scenery
in the Southwest is found in the 1.6 million acres covered
by the Santa Fe National Forest. Elevations rise from 5,300
to 13,103 feet at the summit of Truchas Peak, located within
the Pecos Wilderness. Our objective is to maintain that natural
beauty.
