The San Pedro Parks Wilderness is located in southern Rio Arriba County in northern New Mexico and part of the Santa Fe National Forest. It is 41,132acre (64 sq miles) in size. Elevations range from 8,300ft in the southwestern corner to 10,592ft at San Pedro Peaks near the center of the wilderness. Although the park's average elevation is over 10,000 ft, there are vast green forests, with several valleys dispersed throughout, these meadows are known as "parks", which are referred to in the title, "San Pedro Parks". While San Pedro Parks Wilderness is primarily used for hiking and camping, activities such as climbing, kayaking, and rafting are also popular, along with seasonal activities such as hunting and skiing.
