Trails

We are working to improve our public trails database. In the meantime, please consult the follow tables for the most up-to-date information on your favorite trails. 

Black Range Ranger District

The 2013 Silver Fire and the 2022 Black Fire burned areas of the Aldo Leopold Wilderness and adjacent national forest lands, scorching much of the forest along the crest of the Continental Divide in this area. Post-fire flooding resulted in trail damage across the fire areas. Visitors may encounter falling or fallen trees, flash flooding, debris flows, trail washouts, and heavy brush occluding the trail. Repair of damage and maintenance of area trails will be a long-term ongoing effort. The following trail descriptions largely do not account for trail conditions. We recommend checking with the local office to determine condition of trails you plan to visit, prior to your arrival.

E-bikes are prohibited on all non-motorized trails within the Gila National Forest. They are allowed on designated motorized routes found on the current Motor Vehicle Use Maps.

Glenwood Recreation District

Many trails on the Glenwood Ranger District were damaged by the 2012 Whitewater-Baldy Complex Fire and subsequent post-fire erosion and flood events. Many of these trails have not seen significant trail reconstruction and maintenance since that time. As a result, visitors may encounter falling or fallen trees, flash flooding, trail washouts, and heavy brush occluding trails. User caution is advised, especially for those with livestock. Efforts are currently under way to restore trail access on the trails entering the Gila Wilderness from the west. The following trail descriptions largely do not account for trail conditions. Visitors are advised to check with the local ranger district regarding the condition of trails you plan to visit, prior to your arrival.

Reserve Ranger District

Some trails on the southern end of the Reserve Ranger District were damaged by the 2012 Whitewater-Baldy Complex Fire and subsequent post-fire erosion and flood events and may not have seen significant trail reconstruction and maintenance since that time. As a result, visitors may encounter falling or fallen trees, flash flooding, trail washouts, and heavy brush occluding trails. User caution is advised, especially for those with livestock. Efforts are currently under way to restore trail access on the west side trails. The following trail descriptions largely do not account for trail conditions. Visitors are advised to check with the local ranger district regarding the condition of trails you plan to visit, prior to your arrival.
