San Pedro Parks Wilderness, Protected wilderness area in Rio Arriba County, New Mexico
San Pedro Parks Wilderness spans 41,132 acres of conifer forests and grassy meadows at elevations reaching 10,592 feet at San Pedro Peaks.
The area received initial protection as a Primitive Area in 1931, later becoming part of the original Wilderness Act designation in 1964.
Native American tribes maintain traditional connections to this land, which features numerous trails including the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail.
Visitors need permits for camping and fishing activities, while motorized vehicles, bicycles, buildings, logging, and mining operations remain prohibited.
The wilderness receives 35 inches of precipitation annually, supporting Rio Grande cutthroat trout populations in its network of clear mountain streams.
