The Sangre de Cristo Mountains are the most important mountain range in New Mexico, United States, and contain most of the state's high peaks. The range extends from Santa Fe in the south past Taos to the Colorado state line, and beyond into South Central Colorado, where it is known as the Sangre de Cristo Range. This article will cover features of the Sangre de Cristos in New Mexico that are of interest but are too dispersed to be covered in the articles on Taos, Santa Fe, or the two national forests Santa Fe National Forest, Carson National Forest that include sections of the Sangre de Cristos.
