Welcome to the Santa Fe National Forest
On April 22, 2025, we transitioned our public websites to a modern web platform to better serve the public. With thousands of pages to update, some content may take longer to appear. Some old content has been archived during this process, as well.
We appreciate your patience as we work to make it easier than ever to access information and explore your national forests—both online and on the ground. Please send us an email using our Contact Us form if there is something you can't find!
The Santa Fe National Forest covers 1.6 million acres of mountains, valleys and mesas ranging from 5,000 to 13,000 feet in elevation. Visitors don’t have to travel far to find forested mountain slopes, colorful volcanic formations, deep river gorges, and primitive wilderness areas. Thousands of cultural and archaeological sites reflect the Santa Fe National Forest's rich historical heritage and the many cultures that value this landscape.
