TAOS, N.M. – The Bureau of Land Management Taos Field Office is continuing the closure of the La Junta Trail at the Wild Rivers Recreation Area to the public. The closure is required to address maintenance needs on the trail. The closure will remain in effect until further notice.
La Junta Point Overlook and Campground will remain open during this time. Visitors will be able to access the River Trail and the lower parts of the canyon from the Little Arsenic Springs Trail or Big Arsenic Springs Trail. The BLM asks the public to respect the closure of the trail.
As always, the BLM Taos Field Office reminds all visitors to take precautions when visiting public lands. Visitors are reminded to dress appropriately, consider local weather conditions and altitude and remember your outdoor essentials – water, snacks, appropriate footwear, hat, sunglasses and sunscreen.
