Located in the Gila National Forest in New Mexico

The Blue Range Wilderness is located entirely within the State of New Mexico in the Blue Range Mountains approximately 65 miles northwest of Silver City. The famous Mogollon Rim crosses the area from west to east. The area is accessible by forest roads from U.S. 180 on the north and east.

A pleasing mix of all resources combine to make this 29,304-acre area outstanding as a wilderness where the mark of man and his activities is relatively obscure. A visitor can virtually isolate himself from the stresses of modern civilization and gain spiritual refreshment through self-evaluation. The deep, rugged canyons, steep timbered ridges, the sweeping reaches of stark broken country, the altitude and a sense of being close to creation make this area unique in its setting.
