Rugged, wide-open plains at an average elevation of 7,000 feet, dotted by volcanic cones and cut by steep canyons. The Rio Grande carves an 800-foot-deep gorge. Whitewater rafting, hunting, fishing, hiking, mountain biking, and camping are among the activities. Some access requires a New Mexico State Land Office recreational access permit. Stay limit: 14 Days.
