[Ranger stands in front of the El Morro Visitor Center] Welcome to El Morro National Monument, we just wanted to take a few minutes to let you
know a little bit information if you're planning on coming out here this summer. First off,
we're closed on Monday and Tuesday, we're open from Wednesday to Sunday. Our hours are
9:00 to 5:00. As usual we want you to check in when you get here. You can actually do
that right up here at the front of the visitor center at our service window. We do want to
remind you that the visitor center itself is closed. Our restrooms do remain open and
there are sinks in there where you can get a little bit of water. Beyond that we want
to remind you that if you want to take our 2-mile Headland Trail that takes you on top
of the cuesta you'll want to start that before at least 3:00. The Inscription Loop that takes
you by the inscriptions as well as our pool it's about 3/4 of a mile and you'll want to
start that before about 4:00. Our 9-site campground does remain open. It is first come, first
serve and it is open 7 days a week. Now before you travel we want to remind you to take a
look at this website and definately check the Alerts at the top of this page, that will
be your most accurate, up to date information. It does change minute by minute and that will
be the best place to look for that. You can also call if like but just remember we are
only open 5 days a week, so if you'd like call us make sure that's between the hours
of 9:00 and 5:00 between Wednesday and Sunday. We are once again closed on Monday and Tuesday.
