Gates keep Wilderness Ranger District equines off of New Mexico Highway 35
MIMBRES, NM, March 1, 2024 – The Gila National Forest, Wilderness Ranger District’s horses and mules are grazing in pastures along New Mexico Highway 35, between mileposts 14 to 17. Recently, a rash of forest gates left open in this area has resulted in horses and mules on the highway.
“There are forest roads in this area that are open to motorized travel, but all of them are gated and posted with signs asking visitors to please close after use,” said Wilderness District Ranger Brian Stultz. “Closing these gates in the pasture fence helps protect our herd of pack stock, as well as drivers of Highway 35, by keeping the horses and mules off of the highway.”
