Summary

Description
English: The Rio Chama Wilderness Study Area is located in northern New Mexico. The landscape consists of gently rolling sagebrush-covered plains and a 900-foot (270 m) deep canyon of colorful siltstone and sandstone carved by the Rio Chama. Piñon woodlands cover the hills, and forests of ponderosa pine and Douglas fir cover the north facing slopes. The diversity of habitat types provide for a variety of wildlife. This scenic area includes excellent opportunities for river rafting; the Rio Chama is designated as a Wild and Scenic River. (Click here to visit the Rio Chama Wild and Scenic River site.) This WSA is adjacent to the Chama River Canyon Wilderness, which is managed by the U.S. Forest Service.
