NPS/M. Wilder

A popular area for elk hunters today and a frequented hiking area, Cerros del Abrigo was also the site of an important hunting camp for the Hemish people and positive spiritual energy. Hear Chris Toya talk about the mindset and perspective you should have before hiking or hunting in the area. Keep an eye out for elk and black bear and listen for the distinctive cry of the pika.
