Current Operations at El Morro National Monument

Important Trail Information:
All park trails originate from the visitor center. If you wish to walk the Inscription Loop Trail, plan to arrive no later than 4:00 pm. If you plan to hike the Headland Trail, plan to start the trail no later than 3:00 pm to give yourself enough time to complete this longer, more strenuous trail before closing time. You must be off the trails by the time the visitor center grounds close at 5:00 pm. Please note, because El Morro protects and preserves culturally sensitive resources, hiking the park trails when the monument is closed is not permitted. 

Trails may close due to inclement weather. For the most up to date trail conditions, please call the visitor center at: [phone] x801.

COVID-19

The NPS has updated its masking guidance based on the CDC’s COVID-19 Community Levels tool, which helps communities decide what prevention steps to take. Masking requirements will vary by park based on local conditions, however masks are still required on all forms of enclosed public transportation. Updates will be posted on individual park websites and in parks to help you plan your visit.  In areas the CDC identifies as high COVID-19 community level, masks are required for everyone in all NPS buildings, regardless of vaccination status. In most low and medium COVID-19 community level areas, masks are optional, and you are welcome to wear a mask if it makes you more comfortable. Additional details are available at www.nps.gov/coronavirus.

El Morro (Cibola County) is currently at LOW levels. Masks are OPTIONAL in NPS buildings.
