Backcountry Hiking
Spend a day hiking the backcountry on your own or with an interpreter. Some treks like Cerros del Abrigo, Cerro Seco and La Garita provide spectacular vistas of the Preserve. Other guided hikes like Alamo Canyon, South Mountain, Rincon de los Soldados, Life Under the Partido System, La Jara, Hidden Valley, Valle Grande, and the Historic Ranch provide an intimate look at unique cultural and natural resources not found anywhere else.

Free Spontaneous Hiking

The Coyote Call trail (see map) is a 3-mile roundtrip trek and the Valle Grande trail (see map) is a 2-mile roundtrip hike. No reservations are required for these trails, but we do ask that you sign in and out at the trailhead register. Hiking is allowed 7 days a week from dawn to sunset. Please note that only service animals are allowed on the trails; no pets.
