PART OF THE VALLE VIDAL IN NORTHERN NEW MEXICO IS NOW CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. THE EAST SIDE OF THE VALLE VIDAL IS CLOSED AND IT’S DUE TO THE UTE PARK FIRE. OFFICIALS WITH THE CARSON NATIONAL FOREST SAY THE FIRE HAS NOT YET REACHED THE AREA BUT THEY’RE SHUTTING DOWN THE EAST SIDE IN CASE THE FLAMES GET CLOSER IN THE COMING DAYS.
KEEP IN MIND, THIS MEANS SEVERAL CAMPGROUNDS AND ROADS ON THAT SIDE OF THE VALLE VIDAL ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE. THE WEST SIDE IS ALREADY CLOSED-DOWN THROUGH JUNE 30TH DUE TO ELK CALVING. YOU’RE ENCOURAGED TO CONTACT THE CARSON NATIONAL FOREST DISTRICT OFFICE FOR THE LATEST INFORMATION ON WHAT IS, AND WHAT IS NOT, OPEN.
