Withington Wilderness, Protected wilderness area in San Mateo Mountains, New Mexico.
The 19,000-acre wilderness features steep mountains with deep canyons, ranging from 6,800 to 10,100 feet in elevation at Mount Withington's summit.
The United States Congress designated this section of Cibola National Forest as Withington Wilderness through Public Law 96-550 in December 1980.
The wilderness forms part of the National Wilderness Preservation System, representing New Mexico's commitment to maintaining natural landscapes without human development.
Access to the wilderness requires taking Forest Service Road 549 from US Highway 60, with three trailheads available within the first five miles.
The area contains diverse environments, from high-elevation mixed conifer forests to desert scrub with ocotillo plants in lower eastern sections.
