Hike New Mexico

NMVFO has worked on several hiking trails in the last couple of years, so we have some idea of their current conditions. Even if you cannot join us on projects…

NMVFO would love for you to get out and enjoy these New Mexico trails!

Use our trail guide to help plan your trips. (Be safe, use our info at your own risk, compare with other on-line resources, go prepared with proper equipment, and follow state guidelines for social distancing.)

We are not trying to present a complete guide to all NM trails, just the ones we recently improved/surveyed/hiked, but that should still offer plenty of choices for your next trip. Would you like to suggest another trail for us to work on, or alert us to problems or incorrect descriptions for one of the trails listed below? Fill out this on-line survey form to let us know!
