Manzano Wilderness, Protected wilderness area in Cibola National Forest, New Mexico.
The Manzano Mountains stretch across 36,875 acres of land, reaching elevations from 6,100 feet to 10,098 feet at Manzano Peak.
Spanish explorers in the 1700s discovered old apple trees near a village at the eastern edge of the mountains, leading to the name Manzano.
The wilderness preserves traditional landscapes where Spanish missionaries and Pueblo Indians cultivated apple orchards during the 17th century.
Visitors can access 64 miles of trails throughout the wilderness, including the 22-mile Crest Trail that extends to Manzano Peak.
The mountain range serves as a migration corridor for thousands of raptors traveling between Canada and Mexico during spring and fall.
