Vigil is a hard hike in the Manzano Mountain Wilderness, part of the Mountainair Ranger District of Cibola National Forest in New Mexico. The Forest Service manages the land, and the route is an out-and-back of about 4.3 miles, with a one-way climb of roughly 2,757 feet from a low point of about 6,800 feet to a high of about 9,600 feet. The trail is natural-surfaced and allows horses, but bikes are not permitted. That makes it a good fit for riders on foot or horseback. Several other routes lie within a couple of miles, including the Vigil Trail, the Yellowstone Route and the Old Bosque Trail. For an overnight base, Fourth of July Campground is about 3.3 miles away.
