Hyde Memorial State Park
Hyde Memorial State Park, State park in Santa Fe County, US
Hyde Memorial State Park spreads across the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in a pine forest at elevations between 8,300 and 9,400 feet (2,530 to 2,860 meters). The park sits along Little Tesuque Creek, a small stream that runs through the forested landscape.
New Mexico created this recreational area in 1938 to provide mountain recreation opportunities for the public. Later, it earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places for its historical and environmental importance.
The visitor center displays exhibits about mountain ecology and offers ranger programs where you can learn about the plants and animals living at this elevation. Staff members share stories about how the forest changes with the seasons.
You can choose from 50 campsites, with some offering electric hookups for comfort, and there are picnic areas designed for group gatherings. The hiking paths are straightforward to follow and cover several kilometers through the forest.
During winter, the mountain slopes transform into a snow recreation area where visitors enjoy cross-country skiing, sledding, and snowshoeing. This seasonal shift makes the park a year-round destination for different types of outdoor activities.
