Gallinas Mountains

The Gallinas Mountains are a small mountain range located in north-central New Mexico. This range is part of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, a southern extension of the Rocky Mountains. The Gallinas Mountains are characterized by rugged, heavily forested terrain with numerous canyons and steep ridges. Elevations range from around 8,000 feet in the foothills to over 11,800 feet at the highest peaks. The range's remote location and limited access roads contribute to its wild, undeveloped character.
