Encino Trail is a hard hike in the Manzano Mountain Wilderness, part of the Mountainair Ranger District of Cibola National Forest in New Mexico. The trail is an out-and-back route of about 8 miles, with a total elevation gain of about 3,155 feet. It starts at roughly 6,200 feet and climbs to about 9,380 feet at its high point. The trail lies within designated wilderness, and the Forest Service manages the surrounding land. The route is long and steep, so plan on a full day on foot. The Manzano Crest Trail (170) begins just 0.1 mile away, and the Old Bosque Trail and the Vigil Trail are both within a mile. For an overnight base, Fourth of July Campground is about 3 miles off.
