Zuni-Acoma Trail Guided Hike

Explore the volcanic history of El Malpais with a ranger along the Zuni-Acoma Trail! The west Zuni-Acoma Trailhead is located 16 miles south of Grants on Highway 53. If coming from Grants, the turn is just past mile marker 70. (Please note the Zuni-Acoma Trail has a second trailhead located on Highway 117. Be sure you go to the west Highway 53 trailhead!)

The first part of the hike is through grassland along a dirt trail. Eventually, the trail turns into a cairn-marked route across rubbly lava flows with loose rocks. The guided portion of the hike will cover about the first 1.5 - 2 miles of the trail and return to the parking area along the same route.

Bring comfortable hiking boots, weather appropriate clothing, water, snacks, sunscreen, and a hat.
