Manzano National Forest
This program focuses on the history of the original Manzano National Forest and the dangers of working as a fire lookout at Capilla Peak Fire Lookout in the Manzano Mountains.
At the turn of the twentieth century, the Manzano Mountains consisted of an unsettled wilderness area with no developed campgrounds and only primitive wagon roads and hunting trails traversing the isolated terrain. Resources were being used indiscriminately by early settlers and in an attempt to manage the land the Manzano Forest Reserve was established in 1906. The following year the name was changed to Manzano National Forest.
