Sids Prong Trail #121

Sids Prong Trail #121 is a hard out-and-back hike in the Aldo Leopold Wilderness, part of the Black Range Ranger District of Gila National Forest in New Mexico. The trail is about 12.8 miles long, with a one-way elevation gain of 3,205 feet, taking you from a low point of about 6,720 feet to a high of about 8,974 feet. The route is a long, steep climb, and it's a wilderness trip, so plan on a full day. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail lies within designated wilderness, which adds to the sense of remoteness. The closest neighbor is Victorio Park Trail #794, under a mile away. Pretty Canyon Trail #812 and Lake Trail #110 are both within about 3 miles. For an overnight base, Iron Creek Campground sits about 8.4 miles away.
