With its rich cultural heritage from Native American and Spanish settlers, New Mexico has been both a Spanish colony and a Mexican colony, and still retains a strong individual identity within the United States. The landscape is breathtaking, the food incredible, and there is a thriving cultural scene, all of which makes New Mexico, and Santa Fe in particular, a great place all year long.

The Trestle area has a wonderfully maintained restroom facility and trails in this area. They have a camp host at the trailhead that has been hosting for the last six years. The place is so clean and the trails are beautiful.

We offer the opportunity for you and your kids to actually catch fish. We provide everything you need to fish. When you get done fishing we clean your fish and then we give you recipes for cooking your fish. Hours vary depending on the season, so please call for times.

We took our son for his birthday. He really wanted to catch a fish. We caught 4 within 30 minutes. The pond is stocked with rainbow trout and they are a pretty good size. Ours were 13 inches, 2 at 12 inches and 1 at 10 inches. The staff also offered to clean the fish for us. Great spot for kids to gain a love of fishing, easy for parents. There was no time for the kids to get bored. Highly recommend. We also parked our RV for 4 nights. It’s close to downtown (20 minutes). There are a lot of full time campers here but they were all very friendly and helpful.

Be careful on the gravel road. Lots of water covered pot holes. Some areas it’s narrow and only one vehicle can go through. It’s worth the trip. Saw a flock of turkeys and a herd of wild horses. There was a wedding going on at the springs so there was more traffic than normal. The waterfall was flowing but not a large amt because it was in the autumn and water table was down, but still a beautiful trip. We love Cloudcroft in the autumn with the aspens colors.

The third Saturday of each month there is a guided hike that starts at 9 am at the parking lot. If you have never hiked Prehistoric Trackways before this is an excellent way to get an overview of the trails and what is there. There are 2 different hikes that rotate so worth going on both. Be aware that the trails are very rocky (suggest good ankle boots and hiking pole). You also climb about 300 feet in elevation so make sure you feel you are able to do this before joining the group hike. Our guide Colin (2/15/2020) was excellent and we learned a lot this past hike about the ancient history of the area. Note: many of the trails are shared trails (4-wheel, mountain bikes, hikers). There was also an event of 4-wheelers this Saturday so several time we had to wait for them to pass by.
