Chama River Canyon Wilderness

Chama River Canyon Wilderness protects 50,300 acres of rugged northern New Mexico terrain where the Chama River carved through volcanic rock over millennia. This is raw, remote country—steep canyon walls, ponderosa pine forests, and some of the best whitewater in the Southwest. No roads, no cell service, just wilderness doing what it does best. Whether you’ve rafted through or just respect what roadless protection means, this is a landscape worth repping.
