Top Parks in Torrance county, New mexico, United states

Manzano Mountains State Park

Address: Co Rd B062, Mountainair, NM 87036, USA

“Back again the April in our 38 Renegade. Sites are limited for bigger rigs so make reservations. Monday, April 8th and the park is full. We were passing thru and could only find one site, #8, that was even close to fitting us. Very tight fit with a jeep beside us. But, very pretty location. Electric is 30A & no water connection. Water is available at several spigots around the park. There is a central dump. Our site is located at a Y, so the opening allows for 100mbs of Starlink. AT&T service is 4 bars, 20lbs but when streaming it continually stutters (bandwidth limit?) except on VPN which hides the streaming. Easier to deploy Starlink. There are several trails here. Come prepared. Roads in/out are muddy after rains and they have warning signs. Nearby Mountainair has very limited supplies.”

Fourth of July Trailhead

Address: Torreen Tajique Loop Rd, Estancia, NM 87016, USA

“Weather was overcast with a light rain, we found it perfect. We took a short hike. Drove a short way along the primitive road and enjoyed the changing colors of the fall leaves.”

Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument Quarai Unit

Address: 122 Manzano Quarai Rd, Mountainair, NM 87036, USA

“Interesting site. I am always surprised to find stone ruins in the US. I suppose the various TV shows/movies focus on Native Americans in tents and settlers in wooden structures. This was a large sophisticated Pueblo with some of the buildings 4 stores high. The church was a fine size and it will be interesting to compare it to other Pueblo churches which are still intact. Great tour from the ranger.”

Trail Canyon Trailhead

Address: Grand Enchantment Trail, Winston, NM 87943, USA

Red Canyon/spruce Spring Trailhead

Address: Forest Rd 422, Bosque, NM 87006, USA

“Great trails. Excellent free parking, bathrooms are at parking. There are camping spots and picnic areas. Also areas to house your horses while picnicing. The trails are uphill trails, with rocky spots and smooth spots. There are a few down trees on the trail, but you can easily get around them. We were the only people there as of 12/22/21. Beautiful trails, they seem to go on forever. There are bear and mountain lion warnings. We will definitely be back.”

Manzano Crest North Trailhead

Address: Mountainair, NM 87036, USA

Capilla Peak Campground

Address: Torreon, NM 87061, USA

“Awesome camp ground. Well maintained and clean. The road going up isn't to bad. Can get tight on some parts. Will most definitely see some deer up there. A few short trails and some really long ones like Crest Trail. Overall an awesome place to camp or stay for a few hours.”
