Zuni Mountains

Central to the region is the Zuni Mountain range, just east of Gallup and south of the Red Rock formations at Thoreau on I-40. The largest portion of the Zuni Mountains is Cibola National Forest -- 360,000 acres of pristine wilderness. Rugged mountains, dense pinon forests and remote trails provide a treasure trove for hikers and mountain bikers. Some areas are easily accessible by car, so that wilderness camping and picnicking are perfect pastimes.
