Description

Added by Outbound

The San Gregorio Reservoir Trail in New Mexico is a moderately challenging hike known for its serene views of the reservoir and surrounding forest. The out-and-back trail provides a peaceful atmosphere and well-maintained paths, making it a great spot for fishing, camping, and hiking. Dogs are allowed on the trail, though they must be leashed.

No permits are required, and visitors highlight the natural beauty, especially in the fall when the trees change color. It’s an ideal trail for those seeking solitude and scenic views of the New Mexico wilderness.

San Antonio Hot Springs

These hot springs are a short hike from the parking area along the top of Forest Service Road 376. I've added additional details below in the event that the road is closed due to seasonality or you prefer to stretch your legs for a significantly longer, yet scenic hike. The GPX track is displaying the shorter version. Starting from Jemez Springs New Mexico you will drive north on NM-4 for app...

San Antonio Hot Springs via Thompson Ridge Route

Although you can reach these hot springs via the main trail in the winter, the Thompson Ridge route is a shorter option that comes in from above the springs rather than below. If you go in winter, you'll need winter route finding skills for the trail (there's no signage at any point) and an all wheel or 4 wheel drive for the road in. The trailhead starts on a Forest Service Road (accessible du...

The trail starts on a decline into the canyon for about 800 feet before you cross the bridge over the scenic river. Continue following the trail up a brief, yet steep incline towards the two hot springs. Take a dip and enjoy the J...

Visit the Jemez Soda Dam

For the past 7,000 years, calcium carbonate at this spot in northern New Mexico. And after all those centuries, it has formed into a natural bridge across the Jemez river, roughly 300 feet in length. Drive northeast from Jemez Springs on New Mexico State Route 4. Just under 2 miles later, the formation is on the right side of the road, but parking is immediately following on the left side. Tak...

Las Conchas via East Fork Trail

75 minutes north of Albuquerque, Las Conchas is a trailhead that sits right off the highway with two accessible, although small, parking lots. Right out of the gate the wide and well worn trail drops down to follow the river north through a wide mountain valley lined with large stands of trees, beautiful cliff faces, and tall grass meadows. Hike in along the trail over wooden boardwalks and w...
