Vegetation includes pinion-juniper, ponderosa pine, spruce, fir, and aspen.
Three trails access this seldom visited area. Camping opportunities are limited by a lack of water sources. The Magdalena Ranger District of the Cibola National Forest administers the area. Work Outdoors at GORP Jobs Click Here. All rights reserved.
