Sunrise Over the Ruins with Riparian Walk

At Fort Selden Historic Site
3/2/25, Sunday
6:30am - 12:00pm

Fort Selden Historic Site

Join Fort Selden Historic Site staff to see the sunrise over the historic ruins and enjoy scenic views of the Robledo Mountains. Visitors can use the early morning light and shadows for artistic inspiration, painting and sketching, or enjoy wildlife viewing and birding. Mornings can be cold this time of year so please dress accordingly. A ranger will lead a riparian, or riverside, walk at 11 a.m. discussing changes to the bosque over the years and how much the landscape has changed since the Fort was operational. This is also a great birding opportunity.

Admission is free to New Mexico residents with ID and is $5/adult for non-residents and free for children 16 years and younger and NM Disabled Veterans.
