Primary visitor trailhead for Hermit Peak (Hermits Peak Trail #223) at El Porvenir Campground in Santa Fe National Forest west of Las Vegas, NM. The forested Beaver Creek approach climbs from the Gallinas Canyon / El Porvenir gateway toward the prominent summit that anchors the skyline above the Las Vegas basin—a classic San Miguel mountain day-hike and backpack base (distinct from the already-mapped Montezuma Hot Springs soak site closer to town).
