Currently, parking is allowed only in the small dirt lot near the gate on the road that leads to the waste water treatment plant. Private vehicles that park anywhere past the gate are subject to ticketing.

This means that to access the many lovely trails of lower Pueblo and Bayo Canyons, the only option is a hike on the paved road and risk the trucks or on a small hot dusty trail Read More

With the extensive flooding in the Las Vegas area, especially along the Gallinas River, it is best to avoid this area as crews clean up and repair damage.

Heavy rainfall two weeks ago raised stream flows to higher than normal.

It is always a good idea to check conditions at the location you are headed to. Stream flows can be checked on the United States Geological Survey (USGS) streamflow website. Read More
