Blue Range Wilderness, Protected wilderness area in Gila National Forest, New Mexico
The Blue Range Wilderness spans 29,304 acres of mountainous terrain with elevations ranging from 4,800 to 8,600 feet across the Mogollon Rim.
The region became part of the National Wilderness Preservation System in 1980, following recommendations to protect both New Mexico and Arizona portions.
Native American tribes, particularly the Apache people, established lasting connections to this land through traditional hunting and gathering practices.
Visitors can explore the wilderness through numerous hiking trails, including the 8.8-mile WS Mountain Trail starting at Pueblo Park Campground.
The area hosts diverse wildlife including Mexican wolves, white-nosed coati, peregrine falcons, and bighorn sheep within its juniper woodlands and pine forests.
