Every month ( or so ? ) the Albuquerque Journal puts an insert
into the paper called New Mexico Wildlife. I like it even though
it mostly just has hunting and fishing stuff. There is a web site
here:

This issue this week, had an article on a new state park:
Cerrillos Hills State Park.

If you don't know what the Cerrillos Hills are, they are that group

get up the grade on La Bajada Hill on I-25.
The site for New Mexico Wildlife has copies of their issues posted such
as

but I was unable to locate ...
http://www.wildlife.state.nm.us/publ...spring2010.pdf <=== not a valid link
... which is the issue I got in the paper.\
Hopefully, they will soon post this issue, since the article and pictures
are really inviting. This looks to be a quick and easy place to get to
from both Santa Fe and Albuquerque.
