Apache Kid Wilderness, Protected wilderness area in San Mateo Mountains, New Mexico
The Apache Kid Wilderness extends across 44,626 acres of mountainous terrain, featuring steep canyons and peaks that reach elevations over 10,000 feet.
The area derives its name from a Native American known as Apache Kid, who was killed by local ranchers in 1906 following a series of conflicts.
The region served as a vital territory for Apache tribes, including leaders like Victorio, before becoming part of the Cibola National Forest management system.
Visitors can explore 68 miles of marked trails through the wilderness, though water sources are limited and navigation skills are essential for safe travel.
The wilderness contains West Blue Mountain, reaching 3,151 meters, and provides critical habitat for Mexican spotted owls and mountain lions.
