The Northern New Mexico Loop starts at Santa Fe Plaza, and winds through many of the most beloved hiking trails in northern New Mexico for 500 miles before returning to Santa Fe. Created by the same trail guru who brought us the Grand Enchantment Trail, the NNML is much less well known, but this route will be appreciated by advanced hikers seeking remote passages.
NMVFO has completed a few recent projects that just happen to be on the NNML.
