About
Glorieta Baldy Lookout sits atop Glorieta Baldy at an elevation of approximately 10,200 feet in the Pecos-Las Vegas Ranger District of Santa Fe National Forest. The site is centered around a historic fire lookout tower built in 1940, which represents one of the best remaining examples of an Aermotor MC-24 tower on the forest and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This is a day-use recreation area rather than a campground. No overnight camping is permitted at the site. When open, the area provides opportunities for picnicking and access to hiking trails with panoramic mountain views. The lookout tower itself is currently closed until further notice. Access is via Forest Road 375 (Glorieta Baldy Road), which is rough and not recommended for low-clearance vehicles or trailers. The road is typically closed from early September through spring due to snow and weather conditions.
Directions
From I-25, take exit 299 for Glorieta/Pecos. Head north on NM-50 toward Pecos. Turn left onto Forest Road 375 (Glorieta Baldy Road) and follow to the summit. High-clearance vehicle recommended.
