Things To Do

Overview

Beautiful scenery, a quiet natural setting, and easy access make Hyde Memorial State Park a favorite picnic area, campground, and base camp for excursions into the surrounding Santa Fe National Forest. Located in the beautiful Sangre de Cristo Mountains, the park is vegetated with dense stands of evergreens, as well as aspen and shrubs. As a natural refuge for wildlife, the park provides the opportunity for the quiet and cautious visitors to view deer, raccoon, fox, coyote, squirrels, porcupine and numerous species of butterflies and birds.

The unique beauty and natural wonders at Hyde Park make it an unforgettable reminder of nature's complexity. In the winter, sledding, snow shoeing and cross-country skiing are delightful diversions in the snow-carpeted Hyde Park mountains and do much to make this park a year-round destination.
