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.

** SUPERVISOR’S OFFICE ** Located in Alamogordo, New Mexico, the Supervisor’s Office moved to a new, leased facility in September 2008. The 19,900 square foot building houses approximately 80 employees from four Agencies under the Department of Agriculture: 

Lincoln National Forest, Natural Resource and Conservation Service, Farm Service Agency, and Otero Soil and Water Conservation District

It is the most energy efficient USDA “Green” building to date in southern New Mexico. The “Green” construction will save the taxpayer money through water efficiency; energy and atmosphere; materials and resources; and indoor environmental quality. The building is expected to save 50-70 percent energy cost as compared to a typical building. ** SMOKEY BEAR RANGER DISTRICT ** Headquarters for the Smokey Bear Ranger District is in Ruidoso, New Mexico. The District manages approximately 375,000 acres and ranges in elevation from 5,400 to 11,580 feet. Ski Apache Resort, one of the largest ski areas in the Southwest, is located on the District. There are two wilderness areas on the District, totaling approximately 86,000 acres. One can find a variety of trails winding through the White Mountain Wilderness offering unique recreational opportunities and views for the equestrians and hikers. The Capitan Mountain Wilderness is best known as the place where Smokey Bear was found in 1950. The Capitan Mountains represent a geologic anomaly in the western hemisphere in that it is one of the few ranges that run east and west. Most of the area is steep and rocky, except for open meadows along the main ridge top. The east end of the range has many outcroppings and is very rough terrain. A combination of high elevation and abundant moisture results in a beautiful array of color from flowering plants during the summer months. Perhaps the most beautiful time of year is in the fall, when oaks, maples, and aspens wrap the mountain slopes in breathtaking colors. Deer, turkey, elk and black bear are just a few of the wildlife roaming the District. The towns of Lincoln, where one of the famous shoot-outs of Billy the Kid took place, and Capitan, the burial site of Smokey Bear, are conveniently located near the District.

** SACRAMENTO RANGER DISTRICT ** The Sacramento Ranger District is headquartered in Cloudcroft, New Mexico, and manages over 450,000 acres in elevations ranging from 4,600 to 9,695 feet. Between Cloudcroft and Alamogordo on U.S. 82 is the only highway tunnel in southern New Mexico. A parking area just west of the tunnel affords a spectacular view of Fresnal Canyon, White Sands, and the Tularosa Basin. Near Cloudcroft is another developed interpretive site where visitors can look back in time at the old railroad trestle spanning the Mexican Canyon. The Sacramento District invites the hikers to the rails to trails and Railroad Depot visitors' area to learn the history of the "Cloud Climbing Railroad" that facilitated timber harvest at the turn of the century. Travelers will find spectacular views of sunsets across the desert as well as breathtaking views of the Tularosa Basin and White Sands National Monument from the Sunspot Scenic Byway. The Byway leads to the Sunspot Solar Observatory at Sacramento Peak and the Apache Point Lunar Observatory. These are unique, educational attractions for visitors. The Forest is a partner in the education/visitors center at Sunspot. Higher elevations offer mountain meadows, mixtures of pine, fir, aspen, oak, and other vibrant greens which are broken by the brilliance of wildflowers, blossoming plants, and trees that change with the season. Wildlife is abundant on the District. Deer, elk, turkey, quail, bear, and many types of birds (including the threatened Mexican spotted owl) and small animals live on the Forest.

** GUADALUPE RANGER DISTRICT ** The Guadalupe Ranger District office is located in Carlsbad, New Mexico. The Guadalupe Mountains range in elevation from 3,500 to 7,500 feet. The District contains more than 150 world-class caves and deep, rough canyons. Caving is a very popular activity in the Guadalupe Mountains. The southernmost tip of the District includes approximately 35 square miles of rugged mountains and canyons, which is a massive exposure of the ancient Capitan Barrier reef. The reef, a limestone formation, was created from lime secreted by algae when this area was covered by a shallow sea. The sea dissipated and the reef uplifted, resulting in extensive cavern systems formed within the reef, with magnificent and curious formations. Wildlife and plant life are diverse and abundant. Turkey, deer, elk, and a variety of bird life are present along with coyotes, mountain lions, raccoons, squirrels, bobcats, skunks, badgers, and porcupines. Fishing is non-existent in the District but is available in the Pecos River near Carlsbad. Pinyon and juniper are the predominate trees with grasses, brush, and cacti. The southern portion consists of deep canyons and sheer cliffs. Vegetation is pinyon, juniper, oak, pine, fir, and Texas Madrone trees with ground cover of grasses and cacti.

Sitting Bull Falls is another natural wonder that brings an oasis into the high desert's dry climate. ** ALAMOGORDO, NM ** Alamogordo is a comfortable, stable community nestled in a sunny high desert basin.
