Questions & answers

Q:
What is the cost of the Tularosa to Cloudcroft Loop trainride?
A:
Sorry, I didn’t take any train ride, only hiked.

The parking area isn't really designed for vehicles towing anything. Even some of the longer pickups stick out of some of the parking spaces a little bit. There are only about eight parking spaces at the trestle vista spot on the way up to Cloudcroft. There is another spot up closer to Cloudcroft called the Trestle Recreation Area. There might be enough space in that parking lot but I haven't been there in a long time. There are hiking trails from that area down to the railroad trestle if you are up for hiking.
Q:
Are leashed dogs allowed on the trail?
A:
Yes dogs on a leash are allowed in these trails.
