Jemez Area Roads

[philthy]

Hi All,

I'm hoping to chase some birds in 6A and was wondering if anyone's heard any status on road closures. Last year I hunted off FR376 to the south of the highway going to Fenton Lake. A co-worker heard the roads won't be open until May. Anyone have any info?

Thanks!

Phil

Call the Jemez Ranger District (505) 438-7840 for information on a specifict road:

If the road you want to know about is not within the Jemez District (Coyote, for example), they'll transfer you to the right district.

Info I got this morning regarding a road that I want access to is that the soonest it will be open will be 4/15, and possibly not even then. Yesterday's and today's weather is not helping the cause... :-(

When the say they'll open the gates on 4/15, any idea what time that usually occurs? Should I bother trying to get to my turkey spot before daylight?
