Hiking
Gallo Peak stands at just over 10,000 feet at 10,010-feet in the Manzano Mountain Range. The true summit of Gallo Peak is just west of the Manzano Crest Trail and is a moderate jaunt off trail through some boulders and slightly dense forest growth. It is most commonly reached via the Spruce Spring or Red Canyon Trails, which then both lead to the Manzano Crest Trail, which runs north-south along almost the entire mountain range. The summit of Gallo Peak is relatively flat and open, with summit register on the southeast side for you to sign, if you wish.
