Entry to all state parks is free on Nov. 28
SANTA FE – New Mexico State Parks is waiving day-use admission fees for all visitors on the day after Thanksgiving, allowing anyone wishing to avoid Black Friday shopping crowds to opt outside instead.
"This is the perfect opportunity to escape the crowds and lines typically associated with Black Friday and take a refreshing escape into nature at one of New Mexico's state parks," said Division Director Toby Velasquez.
The free day-use access is available from park opening to closing hours on Friday, Nov. 28. Seasonal closures may be in effect at certain parks. Visit the Find a Park page https://www.emnrd.nm.gov/spd/find-a-park/ before planning your excursion.
Visitors to Cerrillos Hills State Park can enhance their outings with guided trail adventures found on the New Mexico State Parks Tours app. Whether you're a seasoned hiker or a casual explorer, this app is your gateway to exploring the natural wonders of New Mexico's state parks.
The app recently debuted with tours of Cerrillos Hills, a scenic gem located just 30 minutes from Santa Fe. More park tours will be introduced in the coming year.
