Cibola National Forest (Manzano District)

The Mountainair Ranger District is made up of the Gallinas and Manzano mountains, approximately one to two and one-half hours from Albuquerque and 30 minutes to one and one-half hours from Belen and Los Lunas. 

Among the many attractions is the largest stand of Rocky Mountain large tooth maples in New Mexico at the head of Tajique Canyon.  Small, predominantly Hispanic communities, (most of them land grant communities), surround the Manzanos. The area in general is agriculturally   based, with very close ties to the land. Local residents place high value in their heritage and ties to the mountains.

Manzano Mountains State Park

Nestled in the wooded foothills of the Manzano (the Spanish word for apple) Mountains, Manzano Mountains State Park is an excellent place for fishing, bird watching, photography, hiking, and cross-country skiing.
