They are oriented north–south and are 30 miles long. The center of the range lies due east of the town of Belen. The name "Manzano" is Spanish for "apple tree"; the mountains were named for apple orchards planted at the nearby town of Manzano.The high point of the Manzano Mountains is Manzano Peak (10,098 ft), at the southern end of the range. Other notable peaks include flat-topped Bosque Peak (9,610 ft; 2,930 m), near the center of the range, and the twin pyramids of Mosca Peak (9,509 ft; 2,898 m) and Guadalupe Peak (9,450 ft; 2,880 m). The last two are the most easily recognized peaks in the range as viewed from Albuquerque. Manzano Peak and Guadalupe Peak are the most dramatic in the range in terms of local relief and steepness; however, there are few cliffs in the range, as compared to the more dramatic Sandia Mountains.Manzano Peak and the crest and western slopes of the range are included in the Manzano Wilderness which comprises 36,875 acres (14,923 ha) and is 17 miles (27 km) north to south and 3–5 miles (4.8–8.0 km) east-west. There are 64 miles (103 km) of trails in the wilderness, including the 22 mile Crest Trail which traverses the highest part of the range.Compared to the Sandias, the Manzanos are much less visited, lacking the paved road and tramway access of their northern neighbors. However, many recreational sites exist, with opportunities for picnicking, camping, mountain biking, and hiking. The most well-known is Fourth of July Canyon which is noted for its maple trees, especially when they change color in the Fall. [courtesy wikipedia}>
