Come join us for our monthly guided hike to the Discovery Site at the Prehistoric Trackways National Monument on Saturday, December 13th.See our world-renowned trace fossils made by critters that inhabited the Las Cruces area before the dinosaurs, 294 million years ago! Leading the hike will be BLM Las Cruces District Paleontologist, Colin R. Dunn.
Be prepared to hike 3 miles on both trails and rough and rocky terrain in a natural arroyo/canyon. Bring plenty of water, sun protection, and appropriate footwear.
You will find us at the Ridgeline Trailhead (the 1st small parking lot with the Kiosks and near the Monument portal sign). You can arrive at the monument by heading west from the intersection of Shalem Colony Trail and Rocky Acres Trail. Then in about 1/4 mile take a dirt road on the left labeled as Permian Acres.
