Trail of the Mountain Spirits Scenic Byway
Continental Divide and Continental Divide Trail, NM

The byway crosses the Continental Divide in several places, offering stunning views of Mexico to the south and the high mountainous heart of the Gila National Forest. The rugged Aldo Leopold Wilderness and the volcanic Black Range are visible from the Mimbres Valley.

The Continental Divide Trail is accessible from the byway at two points and offers a beautiful 14-day hike into ponderosa pine woodlands and high desert.
