The original Smokey Bear is buried in Capitan, New Mexico. The Lincoln covers approximately 1.1 million acres and consists of three Ranger Districts - Smokey Bear (D1), Sacramento (D2), and Guadalupe (D3). There are three major mountain ranges that cover 1,103,441 acres in southeastern New Mexico - Sacramento, Guadalupe, and Capitan. Elevations of 4,000 to 11,500 feet pass through five different life zones from Chihuauhan desert to subalpine forest. Vegetation ranges from rare cacti in the lower elevations to Englemann spruce in the higher elevations. More people enjoy the Lincoln National Forest and the surrounding areas for recreation use than for all other uses combined. In the summer, climatic relief provided by the mountains draws people from surrounding deserts and plains. However, the Forest offers the user a variety of recreational opportunities any season of the year. The Lincoln National Forest can provide the recreational experience you are seeking, whether you enjoy sight-seeing, wildlife watching, picnicking, camping, hiking, hunting, fishing, mountain biking, horseback riding, motorcycling, snowmobiling, alpine or cross country skiing, or caving.
