Mesa Los Indios Overlook

This scenic trip begins on Forest Road 8 in the town of Gallina, New Mexico. At the start, the elevation is 7,475 feet, but you will traverse up to the 9,020-foot elevation. The road begins as a maintained dirt road. Halfway through the trip, the road becomes rockier, with multiple snow and ice patches during the winter. On the Mesa top, towards the end of the trip, the trail is rocky but has been recently maintained due to the recent wildfire in the area. At the end of the trail, there are beautiful scenic views of Abiquiu Lake, the many painted cliffsides, and even a view of the Cerro Pedernal Mesa in the far distance.
