Maverick Trail is a 1.8-mile out-and-back hike in the Apache Kid Wilderness, part of the Magdalena Ranger District of Cibola National Forest in New Mexico. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail rises about 1,000 feet from a low point of 8,275 feet to a high of 9,297 feet, making it a moderate climb for a day in the wilderness. The route is short but gains a thousand feet, so plan on a steady pace. The trail is an out-and-back, and the high point sits at 9,297 feet. The nearest town is Magdalena, and the trail lies within designated wilderness, so expect to stay on the forest's backcountry roads and trails. Several other hikes sit within a few miles. Smith is about 1.5 miles away, Post is about 2.1 miles, and Milo is about 2.5 miles. Teepe Peak Trail #81 is about 2.6 miles off.
