Santa Fe National Forest
\n<\/strong>The Santa Fe National Forest holds 1.6 million acres of mountain scenery,\u00a0 the headwaters of Pecos, Jemez, and Gallinas Rivers, mountain streams and lakes.\u00a0 It includes four wilderness areas and 1,000 miles of hiking trails.
\nHere is the Forest website.<\/a> Phone 505-438-5300.\u00a0 Thanks to Clifton Russell for suggestions of accessible trails in Santa Fe National Forest.
\n<\/a><\/strong>There is a paved trail with fishing access spots along the San Antonio River at San Antonio Campground. \u00a0Thank you, Katie Watson, for the reference.
\n<\/a>San Diego Canyon Overlook site<\/a>\u00a0in the Jemez Ranger District.
\nThere is a paved trail to the overlook as well as ADA restroom.
\n<\/a>East Fork Trail (Forest trail 137)<\/a> just off NM State Highway 4. Also in Jemez Ranger District. \u00a0“This [10 mile] trail would be suitable for elderly, but maybe too challenging for wheel chairs.” \u00a0It sounds as if parts of it would be OK. \u00a0“From Jemez Falls it’s another mile to the East Fork Trailhead.\u00a0This segment of trail is an\u00a0easier walk, although still moving uphill. From the East Fork Trailhead to\u00a0 the Las Conchas Trailhead the hiking becomes easier with rolling terrain.” \u00a0I suggest you contact Forest Headquarters \u00a0(505) 438-5300 for advice on the parts appropriate for you.
\n<\/a>Cowles Fishing Pon<\/a>d in the Pecos\/Las Vegas Ranger District. \u00a0“An ADA accessible\u00a0\u00a0trail around\u00a0both\u00a0ponds\u00a0was completed on 5\/25\/2013.”
\nHere are some accessible picnic and camping areas that Clifton Russell brought to my attention:
\nPecos\/Las Vegas Ranger District
\nWindy Bridge<\/a>
\nBaker Flat<\/a>
\nLower \u00a0Dalton
\n<\/a>Espa\u00f1ola Ranger District
