The beautiful and remote Apache Kid Wilderness stretches across more than 44,000 acres in the San Mateo Mountains, with breathtaking views and challenging trails that wind through steep canyons and lush, forested peaks. Named after a legendary Apache scout, this area is rich in history with plenty of wildlife, including elk, black bears, and the endangered Mexican spotted owl. With its lightly used trails, and limited human presence, it's a fantastic secluded sanctuary for any experienced backpacker.
