Spruce Spring Trail (189) is a 6.6-mile out-and-back hike in the Manzano Mountain Wilderness, part of the Mountainair Ranger District of Cibola National Forest in New Mexico. The trail climbs from a low point of about 8,000 feet to a high of 9,173 feet, with an elevation gain of 1,161 feet, and is rated moderate. The route starts and ends at the same point, so the 1,161-foot gain is one way. The climb is spread across the full length of the trail, and the high point sits well above the starting elevation. The trail lies within designated wilderness, and the Forest Service manages the surrounding land. The nearest town is Mountainair, and the trail is part of the broader network of hiking and climbing in the Manzano Mountains. Several other routes and climbing areas sit close by. Red Canyon Trail (89) is about a mile away, and the Manzano Mountains climbing area is about 1.7 miles off. New Canyon Trail (101) and the Mighty Wall climbing area are also within a few miles.
