New Mexico Wild has launched an online Hiking Guide featuring descriptions of more than 100 trails, at least one in each Wilderness area in the state.

The New Mexico Wild Hiking Guide is the first known online resource dedicated exclusively to hiking trails in New Mexico’s Wilderness areas.

The New Mexico Wild Hiking Guide provides a detailed description of each hiking trail, including driving instructions, the types of ecosystems present and an overview of the Wilderness area containing the trail.

Users may narrow searches to find trails that fit their interests using seven different filters: distance, route type, difficulty, water, natural features, activities and solitude. Users may also create a profile to share trail conditions and upload photos of their hikes to improve the accuracy of descriptions. Each trail features a downloadable PDF trail map.

Please heed the advice of Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham and public health officials when planning your next hiking trip. These guidelines include limiting long distance travel and practicing physical distancing when on a hiking trail until the state’s stay-at-home order has been fully lifted.
