THE SANDIA AND MOUNTAIN RANGER DISTRICTS CLOSED AT 8:00 MONDAY MORNING. IT MEANS NO HIKING LA LUZ TRAIL OR EMBUDO CANYON. HOWEVER, YOU CAN STILL TAKE THE TRAM TO THE CREST … THOUGH ONCE YOU'RE THERE, YOU'RE LIMITED TO THE OBSERVATION DECK AND THE RESTAURANT. THE SANDIA AND MOUNTAINAIR RANGER DISTRICTS ARE BEING CLOSED DUE TO THE DROUGHT AND THE FIRE DANGER, WHICH IS LISTED AS "VERY HIGH" NOW.
THE FIRE DANGER IS ALSO HIGH IN THE GILA NATIONAL FOREST, BUT OFFICIALS THERE SAY HIKING TRAILS ARE OPEN … BUT NO FIREWORKS ARE ALLOWED.
