Try to walk a mile a day, knee was shattered four years ago, it helps. Even though it is unbelievable dry brush, what makes up for it is other scenery, cliffs rock formations, it's still a beautiful walk. The forest are closed until relief from mother nature.

February 8 hiking about 1.8 miles, an hour, from Battleship Rock into McCauley springs. Pleasant but ice cleats, Trax, would have made it safer on sometimes icy trails. Not many people on a Sunday. Dog friendly. Hot springs maybe easier to find with trail through snow. But did not see the trail I thought would go to Jemez Campground. Three ponds. Water not horribly hot but comfortable in the snow.

If it's a national forest -- it always deserves 5 stars. Vast grasslands (less so forests) open for all to explore. You can camp here for free, too, just be sure to leave no trace.On occasion you may run into cows gracing on the land. But, overall, very peaceful. Unfortunately, the very first stretch of the entrance has suffered of some trash (furniture mainly) being dumped here. The dirt roads are not maintained, so be prepared for a bumpy drive. Hence, minus one star.

We spent Memorial day weekend in the Jemez mountains. For people who don't own property in the mountains, there are many different camp site locations. For RV's, for backpacking, or for glampimg, there's plenty of space for everyone. It's quiet and peaceful, but not too out of the way for a quick vacation away from the city.

Questions & Answers

1. Is the park open all year round for camping? 2. Is the cost $20 a year for seniors? 3. Is the rate above dependent on NM residency? 4. Is there a time limit for how long you can camp?

Cathy H. | Jun 29, 2018

Open year round...the rate is not dependent on NM residency as it is a National Forest....not sure cost for seniors per yr. Time limit at each camp ground is 14 days but one can move to a different camp ground after that and time limit starts over.

Some parts do, depends where you go. It's best to stop at the local national forest office. It's a large National Forest, so it's hard to answer your question properly.

From which long-ago fire did the "Burn Trail" get its name?

sharyn udall | Jun 28, 2019
Stephen Romero | Jun 29, 2019

Not sure if by fire but I assume it was an old wagon trail days term which referred to how fast it took to get to Santa fe using that area rather than through the pojoaque route to Santa fe before there even was a highway. But to be honest I don't think it's because of a forest fire or that sort of reference.

Usually but not now because the forest is closed due to fire danger. Always check the national Forest website or call a ranger station. They are super helpful.
