Guide To Outdoor Recreation

May 24, 2020 By Dave C. Leave a Comment

Be Safe and Respectful While Enjoying the Outdoors

As the Memorial Day weekend approaches, it’s important to remember that many areas of Northern New Mexico, and tribal lands and elsewhere in the state, remain completely closed due to health concerns and the spread of the virus.

“As we spend more time in New Mexico’s great outdoors, let’s remember that we all share these beautiful spaces and must protect them as well as each other,” Gov. Lujan Grisham said. “You will not be alone. Just as you would at the grocery store, please practice social distancing and put on a face mask when passing other hikers, bikers and bird-watchers on the trail. And as always, be respectful of the landscape. Follow all restrictions including burn bans and leave nothing behind… whether it’s dog waste, your picnic trash, or the jacket you needed in the morning but not in the afternoon.”

Ten rules for New Mexicans looking to get outside:

  1. The health of others should still be your top priority. Bring a mask whenever you go and put in on when approaching other people. Practice physical distancing.
  2. Forget about campfires. NO CAMPFIRES & NO SMOKING outside are allowed! There are statewide fire restrictions in place. Check this site for details on fire bans before you go on a trip.
  3. Avoid crowded trailheads. Have a back-up plan if your favorite spot is too crowded. Remember, the State Parks that are open are operating under limited, day-use only capacity.
  4. Eagle Nest Lake is closed. Cimarron Canyon is open for day use only. Check for other closures. Check the land management agencies’ websites before venturing out to recreate. Many of these places are closed now to protect both you and staff.
  5. Practice Leave No Trace principles. Pack it in, pack it out. Protect your fellow outdoor enthusiasts. Protect the natural resources. Do not leave trash! This photo from the US Forestry Service shows trash left by visitors to the Santa Fe National Forest just last weekend. Come on guys… really?
  6. Be prepared. Developed recreation sites (including bathrooms) remain closed. Be self-sufficient by bringing in your own snacks, waters, and trash bags.
  7. NO OVERNIGHT CAMPING. All public and private developed campsites remain closed.
  8. You can book some outdoor guided trips and coaching sessions. You must still adhere to all group-size limits and physical distancing rules. Don’t go out if you are sick. If you are not exhibiting symptoms, wear a mask to protect your guide or coach. Follow all the Covid-safe practices outlined by the Governor’s Office.
  9. Gear rentals can resume. So long as the equipment is properly and thoroughly sanitized between uses.
  10. Public gatherings, events, and camping in developed sites are still banned. A public gathering = more than 5 people.

Visit the Outdoor Recreation Division’s website for current information about public lands closures and re-openings. Please forward your questions about the guidelines to Axie Navas, Director of the Outdoor Recreation Division, at 505-660-5992 or email Alexandra.Navas@state.nm.us.
