From 10:00 am until 1:00 pm
At Cabezon Wilderness Study Area
Wilderness Defenders: Join us in the field!
We'll meet at the new parking area at 10 a.m. to gather and answer Defender-related questions for a bit. From there, we will hike 2.4 miles around the base of Cabezon (not to the top) and record observations in Field Maps. We will then head back to the parking area for lunch. New Mexico Wild will provide water and snacks, but please plan to bring your lunch.
When: Saturday, October 5th from 10 am-1 pm
Where: Cabezon Wilderness Study Area parking lot (35°35'23.8"N 107°04'54.3"W)
Driving Directions from Recreation.gov:
Entry into the area is best gained by turning westward from US 550 onto County Road 279 approximately 20 miles northwest of San Ysidro. A green highway sign (labeled “San Luis, Cabezon”) marks the turnoff. Continue 12 miles (south-west past the village of San Luis) to the Cabezon turn-off onto BLM Road 1114. The pavement ends just beyond San Luis.
At the intersection of CR 279 and BLM Road 1114, you will pass by the ghost town of Cabezon. Follow BLM Road 1114 for 2.9 miles to the dirt route that leads east to the trailhead.
