First Day Hikes Join us on New Year's Day for First Day Hikes! Hike to start the new year off with a great day outdoors enjoying the sights of one of your beautiful state parks. The trip to Lawson Springs takes you out of the flats and on a moderate climb at the base of the Sacramento Mountains. You'll have a marvelous view of the Tularosa Basin and White Sands across the valley. Lawson Springs' limestone terraces support lush growth that stands out against the rocky slopes. A variety of wildlife frequents the area and tracks can be plentiful. Park at the visitor center then walk to site 36. Your guide will meet you there for an approximately one-mile hike along Lawson Springs. The minimum age for children is 8 years old. Pets are allowed on a leash. Please bring plenty of water! The $5 day-use fee will be waived for organized First Day Hikes taking place at New Mexico State Parks.
