Latir Peak Wilderness, Protected wilderness area in Taos County, United States

Latir Peak Wilderness is a protected area within Carson National Forest in northern New Mexico, featuring dense forests, rocky ridges, and alpine tundra across its broad landscape. The terrain includes deep valleys with coniferous trees and open highland zones that offer varied ecosystems.

The area lies within the Carson National Forest, which was established in 1908 from parts of the Pecos River and Jemez Forest Reserves. Congress designated 20,506 acres as the Latir Peak Wilderness in 1980 under the National Wilderness Preservation System. The Lake Fork of Cabresto Creek drains most of the wilderness, originating at Heart Lake and impounded at Cabresto Lake just outside the boundary.

The name Latir comes from the Spanish word for the call of a deer, and the area's high country is reached on foot or horseback from the Cabresto Lake trailhead. Rio Grande cutthroat trout, native to the streams here, are a fish anglers recognise. The 20,506-acre area lies within Carson National Forest.

The Lake Fork Trail is the main entry route, leading toward Heart Lake in the central part of the area. The Midnight and Bull Creek Trails offer alternative routes westward for visitors seeking different paths and distances.

The wilderness takes its name from Latir Mesa, a high plateau of alpine tundra in its northern section. Venado Peak, at 12,734 feet (3,881 m), is the highest point in the area, slightly higher than Latir Peak at 12,708 feet (3,873 m).
