Wild Earth Llama Adventures Director Stuart Wilde discusses what the Columbine-Hondo Wilderness Act means to him. The Columbine-Hondo, located in the high country of northern New Mexico, is one of the most treasured places in the state and a key attraction for the local tourism economy. People come to these mountains for recreation, solitude, and to spend time with their families, and invariably they leave with their wallets a little lighter. The area also offers some of the best hunting and fishing opportunities in the state, with high-elevation coldwater fisheries, and unparalleled habitat for elk, deer, and antelope.
The Columbine-Hondo Wilderness Act, introduced by U.S. Senators Tom Udall and Martin Heinrich, would designate the 45,000-acre Columbine-Hondo area in Taos County as wilderness. The bill would also expand the Wheeler Peak Wilderness by approximately 650 acres while modifying a boundary in order to create a loop trail accessible by mountain bikes along the Lost Lake trail from Taos Ski Valley to the East Fork trail to Red River.
