COUNTY News:

Los Alamos County will begin Monday, April 19, the operations to safely and humanely remove feral cattle from Bayo and Pueblo Canyons.

The cattle are impacting the safety of drivers on local roads, damaging cultural sites and have been aggressive to recreation users in the County.

For the safety of our recreational users and contractors, the Bayo and Pueblo Canyon Trails will be closed beginning April 19. Also, access from the N.M. 502 gate into Pueblo Canyon will be closed.

The County anticipates the trails will reopen Monday, April 26.  

Note: With the trails closed, access to the trails and roads also will be restricted:

• Camp Hamilton;
• Tent Rocks Trail;
• Zipline Trail;
• Bayo Canyon Road; and
• Pueblo Canyon Road.

The County appreciates the community’s understanding and patience as it works to remove the cattle.
