Some of the finest mountain scenery in the Southwest is found in the 1,567,000 acres covered by the Santa Fe National Forest. Elevations rise from 5,300 to 13,101 feet at the summit of Truchas Peak, located within the Pecos Wilderness. The diverse topographic and climatic conditions create a wide variety of landforms and plant and animal habitats. The forest has five Ranger Districts: Coyote, Cuba, and Jemez on the west side of the forest while the Espanola and Pecos/Las Vegas districts manage lands on the east side.
