The forest has four wilderness areas, two Wild and Scenic Rivers, and miles of scenic and historic byways, and offers a wealth of recreational activities year-round from hiking, mountain biking, backpacking, and camping to fishing, canoeing, downhill skiing and cross-country skiing in the Santa Fe Ski Basin.
