New Mexico's Hidden Wilderness Paradise | San Pedro Parks Group Backpacking Trip 2026
The annual group backpacking trip is back! In 2026, family and friends returned to one of New Mexico's most beautiful and remote wilderness areas for a 3-day, 2-night adventure deep in the heart of the Santa Fe National Forest. 👉🏼 Wanna watch more Backpacking videos 👉 • Backpacking The San Pedro Parks Wilderness covers more than 41,000 acres in northern New Mexico and was designated as part of the original Wilderness Act in 1964. Known for its high-elevation meadows, crystal-clear streams, dense spruce and aspen forests, and abundant wildlife, this wilderness area sits at an average elevation of over 10,000 feet. The area gets more moisture than much of New Mexico, creating lush grassy "parks" that give the wilderness its name. Elk, mule deer, black bears, wild turkey, and Rio Grande Cutthroat Trout all call this rugged landscape home. The Continental Divide Trail also passes through portions of the wilderness. For three days, our group explored scenic trails, crossed mountain streams, camped beneath towering pines, and enjoyed the solitude that makes the San Pedro Parks Wilderness such a special place. From wide-open meadows filled with wildflowers to quiet evenings around camp, this trip was a reminder of why we return year after year. Join us as we share the highlights of our 2026 group backpacking adventure, the beautiful scenery of the San Pedro Parks Wilderness, and the memories made with family and friends along the trail.
