About the Forest:
Lincoln National Forest stretches across 1.1 million acres of southeastern New Mexico, covering three stunning mountain ranges, the Sacramento, Guadalupe, and Capitan. With elevations from 4,000 to 11,500 feet, you can wander from desert landscapes to cool, high-country forests all in a single day. Whether you're here to hike, picnic, mountain bike, camp, or kick up some dust on a dirt bike, there's plenty of room to roam. And don't forget, you're exploring the home of Smokey Bear himself, the beloved symbol of wildlife prevention and one of the forest's most famous residents.
