There are now six National Forests in New Mexico comprising an area of approximately nine and one-half million acres.
The Forest Service is rapidly improving transportation and communication facilities in the New Mexico Forests. Under the new law about half a million dollars was spent on National Forest Roads in New Mexico during 1922. [268]
Persons who desire to camp in the National Forests of New Mexico may do so without charge or other restrictions. They are required only to be careful with fires and to leave clean camp grounds upon departure. In some localities public camp grounds, with such facilities as fireplaces, etc., have been set aside for the convenience of tourists.
A good road has recently been completed from Taos up Taos Canyon to the top of the divide, where it joins the road to Cimarron. The Red River Road, from Ute Park, west over the divide, and down Red River to Questa, thence to Taos, has now been finished.
Good roads recently built by the Government and state into portions of the Sacramento Range and into the White Mountains have opened up areas for recreation. Among these is the beautiful Ruidoso Creek, now reached over an excellent road from the Pecos Valley and through the Mescalero-Apache Indian Reservation, and the area at the north end of the Capitans recently chosen by Roswell for a municipal camp.
