The pinnacle – Wheeler Peak – is the highest point in the state of New Mexico at 13,167 feet. The state’s numerous other peaks between 10 and 11,000 feet, including several more between 7 and 9,000 feet, offer a wide range of summit hikes to choose from, varying in difficulty and duration. This guide will feature detailed hike descriptions, miles and directions, maps, color photos, and comprehensive specs for 40 of these amazing hikes, providing opportunities for hikers of all skill levels to experience some of New Mexico’s most stunning views and tallest summits.
