New Mexico Loop
Mapset & Resource Bundle |
ABOUT THE HIKE The Northern New Mexico Loop is a 500 mile walk at the historic crossroads of the American Southwest, starting and ending at Santa Fe Plaza. The route explores everything from sere deserts to lush boreal and lofty alpine terrain, and uncovers some of the rich human history and present-day cultural diversity unique to this region of New Mexico. Hiked clockwise, the route first tours the Jemez Mountains and Continental Divide on a northerly tack, then joins the Sangre de Cristo Mountains for the return leg to Santa Fe.

Disclaimer: While it is our hope and endeavor that the Northern New Mexico Loop digital mapset will allow experienced users to avoid most navigational problems and will contribute to a rewarding adventure along the route, we do not guarantee the 100% accuracy of these maps and GPS data and other information provided, and assume no responsibility for their use or misuse. Hiking and backpacking are inherently risky activities, so be sure to use these maps as part of an overall approach to maintaining safety in the backcountry, and do not assume their endorsement of a particular road, trail, or creek crossing, etc. Conditions in the field can change, sometimes quickly, and property boundaries can be redrawn to exclude public access. In short, use the maps and benefit from them, but use your skills and your awareness too. And always keep your options open when determining the safest and most practical direction of travel.
