About Los Pinos Mountains

The Los Pinos Mountains are a small, remote mountain range located in north-central New Mexico. This rugged, forested range rises up from the surrounding high plains and features steep, rocky slopes with deep canyons. The terrain is challenging, with few well-maintained trails, making navigation and access difficult in many areas. However, the range's isolation and wilderness character offer opportunities for solitude and a true backcountry experience.
