    Hiking

    Cerro La Jara Trail is a 1.5-mile loop trail that starts and ends at the Valles Caldera Visitor Center. It circles Cerro La Jara, and there are prairie dogs here who call this land home! Please don't feed the little guys, and be careful when driving because they cross the road often.
