Welcome
 The
Forest
The Carson National Forest is one of 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 1.5 million acres covered by the Carson National Forest.
Elevations rise from 6,000 feet to 13,161 feet at Wheeler Peak,
the highest in New Mexico. Our objective is to maintain that
natural beauty.
Recreation Opportunities
The Carson National Forest offers unlimited recreational opportunities
in any season. The magnificent mountain scenery and cool summer
temperatures lure vacationers to enjoy the peace and quiet,
for fishing, hunting, camping, and hiking. Winter activities
include skiing, snowshoeing and snowmobiling.
Some recreation areas have undergone
new and exciting renovations to make the National Forest lands
accessible to all. Plans are being implemented to make additional
recreation areas accessible. For the most current information
on these and other areas, please check with your local Forest
Service office.
