Truchas Peak, Mountain summit in Sangre de Cristo Range, New Mexico, US

Truchas Peak is a north-south massif in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of northern New Mexico, within the Pecos Wilderness of Santa Fe National Forest. It has four summits: North, Middle, "Medio" and South Truchas Peak, the highest at 13,108 feet. The massif forms the divide between the Rio Grande and the Pecos River.

Spanish colonial settlers gave the peak its name in reference to the trout found in nearby waters, a practice common in naming landmarks across the region. The surrounding land was used for centuries by mountain communities for hunting and gathering.

The name "Truchas" comes from the Spanish word for trout, a reminder of the fish-filled streams that early settlers found in the area. Hikers passing through the valley below can still spot trout in the cold mountain streams today.

The peak can be reached by several hiking routes, and the western approach through the Todas las Almas valley is one of the more commonly used paths. No matter the season, mountain weather can change quickly, so bringing layers and proper footwear is a good idea.

Truchas Peak is the most southerly peak and land area in the continental United States to rise above 13,000 feet (3,962 m). Its four summits form a small north-south massif, and only North Truchas Peak (13,025 ft) has enough prominence to count as an independent peak.
