Adventures on Public Lands: New Public Lands in New Mexico
New Mexico has three newly-protected areas on BLM lands around the state.
The Prehistoric Trackways National Monument in the Robledo Mountains near Doņa Ana, is one of the finest Paleozoic paleontological sites in the country. Most of the specimens have been removed to the New Mexico Museum of Natural History in Albuquerque, but the mountains are a challenging and fascinating place to explore.
Fort Stanton-Snowy River Cave National Conservation Area above ground, is a historic fort, dating from the late 19th century, nestled in the foothills of the Sacramento Mountains. Underground is a wonderland formed over eons. Permit required for caving.
Sabinoso Wilderness The Sabinoso wilderness does not currently have public access, but protects over 16,000 acres of mesas and canyons.
