Sabinoso Wilderness, Protected wilderness in San Miguel County, New Mexico, US.
The Sabinoso Wilderness spans 29,855 acres of high mesas and deep canyons, featuring sandstone cliffs that rise above narrow valleys and grassland plateaus.
After multiple legislative attempts, this land received federal protection in 2009 and remained inaccessible until 2017 when public access routes were established.
The territory contains evidence of Paleo-Indian settlements, while its name derives from the Spanish word for juniper trees that populate the landscape.
Visitors access the wilderness via County Road C51A, requiring navigation through dirt roads that become impassable during wet weather conditions.
The Canadian Escarpment creates elevation changes from 4,500 to 6,000 feet, supporting distinct ecosystems from shortgrass prairie to pinyon-juniper woodlands.
