BLM public lands in northcentral New Mexico include two outstanding Wild and Scenic Rivers -- the Rio Grande and the Rio Chama -- and three developed recreation areas -- Wild Rivers, Santa Cruz Lake, and Orilla Verde. At these sites you can experience a whitewater rafting challenge; enjoy a breathtaking view of the 800-foot-deep river gorge; hike miles of developed trails; view wildlife; or visit an important prehistoric, historic, or active cultural site. Sit back and relax in the pinon, juniper, and wildflower fragrances . . . watch the aspens and cottonwoods change color . . . and then view the stars from a campsite perched on the ledge or our world-class river gorge. Choose your own path to the Taos Field Office and prepare to be enchanted by your public lands!
