Covering over 1.6 million acres across New Mexico, Texas, and Oklahoma, the Cibola National Forest is a diverse mix of mountains, high desert, and open grasslands—spread across four ranger districts and four national grasslands. Its landscapes range from piñon-juniper woodlands to spruce-fir forests, providing habitat for wildlife like elk, black bears, and pronghorn. With designated wilderness areas, scenic trails, and research sites like the Langmuir Laboratory and Magdalena Ridge Observatory, it’s a favorite for hikers and campers, with plenty of options to explore this vast beautiful area.
