RESPECT THE LAND
Much of New Mexico is designated as public land and administered for multiple uses. With hundreds of miles of backcountry trails, off-highway vehicle use is permitted when done in a responsible and safe manner. Recreational pursuits have never been safer thanks to New Mexico’s Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Act!
