Most of the activities possible in Santa Fe National Forest are equally possible in Carson National Forest, which adjoins it on the north. Carson contains the state's highest mountain Wheeler Peak, 13,161' and additional wilderness areas as well as jeep roads, campgrounds, fishing streams, etc. Bandelier National Monument is adjacent to the southwest corner of Santa Fe National Forest and also offers hiking, camping and fishing; motorized off-road travel, however, is forbidden there.
Santa Fe, Taos and Los Alamos offer the usual in-small-town attractions when your stay in the forest is over.
