Explore Cerro Del Yuta Wilderness, New Mexico

The 13,420-acre Cerro Del Yuta Wilderness is located in New Mexico. Along one of the world’s great avian migratory routes, these areas provide an important stopover for eagles, hawks, and falcons. The areas are also important habitat for bears, deer, elk, antelope, and bighorn sheep. Additionally, the spectacular Rio Grande, which cuts through the monument, is home to both the Rio Grande cutthroat trout and river otters. Ute Mountain’s 10,093-foot peak is the highest point on lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in New Mexico. As an isolated, free-standing former volcano, Ute serves as a dramatic focal point for a scenic landscape that borders the Rio Grande Gorge.
