Preserve Roads

The map below shows all preserve roads and trails. With the exception of NM Highway 4 that traverses the southeast and southwest corners of the preserve, all internal roads are gravel, dirt roads, and road conditions can change dramatically during wet weather. Check locally for road updates.

 

Currently visitor vehicles are limited to the road to the Valle Grande Contact Station.


For backcountry vehicle access beyond the Valle Grande Contact Station, a backcountry vehicle permit or a special use permit is needed. Permits are limited and available seasonally as conditions allow.
