Indian Meadow Nature Trail

Named for the once abundant black-tailed prairie dog, Dog Canyon is home to a surprising variety of plant and animal species and was a traditional occupation site for the Mescalero Apache. The Indian Meadow Nature Trail is an easy 0.6 mile loop that begins across the road from the ranger station and next to the group campsite, offering good views of the landscape. At a leisurely pace it takes 30-45 minutes. The trail is rated easy as it remains almost level after crossing an arroyo. Wildlife is abundant du
