Sabinoso Wilderness
Recreational Opportunities
The Sabinoso Wilderness is surrounded by private land, there is no public access at this time. If you are granted permission by one of the surrounding private landowners, primitive types of recreation, such as hiking, backpacking, camping, wildlife viewing, photography, and horseback riding may be enjoyed. There are no trails in the wilderness, but some old vehicle routes (now closed to vehicles) are present.
Climate and Special Equipment Needs
Water is scarce but may be found seasonally in pools along ephemeral streambeds (tinajas), springs near Largartija Creek and Canon Vivian, earthen stock tanks, and playa lakes. Occurring primarily in spring and summer, annual precipitation ranges between 14 and 18 inches and drains into Canons, Olguin, Silva, Muerto, Vivian, Agapito and finally Largo outside the wilderness boundary.
