To make the most of your visit, please plan ahead and come prepared. To the northeast, the nearest services and amenities are located on State Highway 44 at the Thriftway convenience store, and at the Blanco and Nageezi Trading posts. Drinking water is available 24 hours a day in the visitor center parking area. There are no showers. Pay telephones are located outside the Visitor Center.
All roads leading into the park are dirt.
During extremely inclement weather they can be impassable and when wet, they are slippery. Traveling from the north, the route into the park is CR7900 off of New Mexico Highway 44. From the south, access is via New Mexico 57. Both routes are clearly signed and are generally maintained. We do not recommend traveling north on New Mexico 57 from the Crownpoint or Grants area during inclement weather.
