  • 50 Hikes in Los Alamos
    50 HIKES IN THE LOS ALAMOS AREA Spring 2012 Many years ago, Frances Arnold, Carol Carlson, and Maxine Ellis created a 50 Hikes trail list for friends who wanted to explore our beautiful mesas, canyons, and mountains. The Santa Fe National Forest later adopted the list as a convenience for visitors. Despite subsequent publication of a number of hiking books for the area, the list still serves its purpose as a quick introduction to the east side of the Jemez Mountains. As years go by, changing conditions require that the list be revised periodically. This edition of 2012, updated by Dorothy Hoard and Craig Martin, reflects changes wrought by the catastrophic Cerro Grande Fire of 2000 and the Las Conchas Fire of 2011 that ravaged the mountains behind Los Alamos. Most of these hikes are easy to find and follow, but some are in rugged areas. Always prepare appropriately. Tell someone where you are going, be ready for changes in the weather, carry WATER and gear and equipment appropriate for the hike. Any good hiking book has excellent tips on hiker safety. All hikes on the list are on public land and reached from a paved or good gravel road. Do not trespass on Pueblo property, National Laboratory restricted areas, or private property. Various area maps are available from the Los Alamos Chamber of Commerce, Bandelier National Monument, Forest Service, Otowi Station at the Bradbury Science Museum, and local bookstores. Trails with numbers are Forest Service trails. For more information, call the Forest Service office in Los Alamos (667-5120) on Monday, Wednesday or Friday; the Española office (753-7331 or 438-7801) Monday through Friday; or the Jemez Ranger Station (829-3535 or 438-7694) in Jemez Springs; and Bandelier National Monument at 672-3861, ext.

  • The Use of Repeat Photography for Historical Ecology Research in the Landscape of Bandelier National Monument and the Jemez Mountains, New Mexico
    THE USE OF REPEAT PHOTOGRAPHY FOR HISTORICAL ECOLOGY RESEARCH IN THE LANDSCAPE OF BANDELIER NATIONAL MONUMENT AND THE JEMEZ MOUNTAINS, NEW MEXICO FINAL REPORT TO SOUTHWEST PARKS AND MONUMENTS ASSOCIATION JANUARY 11, 2000 John T. Hogan and Craig D. Allen U.S. Geological Survey Midcontinent Ecological Science Center Jemez Mountains Field Station Los Alamos, NM 87544 INTRODUCTION The detection and analysis of change at multiple temporal and spatial scales is fundamental to historical ecology research (Swetnam et al. 1999). Knowledge of past conditions is essential to our understanding of the dynamics that shaped, and continue to shape, current landscape patterns and processes. In the Southwest, the relative contributions of climate fluctuation and human disturbance to the observed changes in the composition, structure, function, and distribution of regional landscapes has been persistently debated (Hastings and Turner 1965, Bahre 1991, Allen et al. 1998). In Northern New Mexico, past environmental conditions and landscape patterns have been reconstructed from multiple lines of evidence, each with inherent strengths and weaknesses. Recently, repeat photography has been enlisted as a research tool to augment dendrochronology, palynology, land use history, and a suite of inventory and monitoring programs, in the study of the changing landscape in which Bandelier National Monument is embedded. Repeat photography can be a valuable tool in documenting and interpreting the causes of landscape changes. Outstanding Southwestern examples are the seminal The Changing Mile (Hastings and Turner 1965), A Legacy of Change (Bahre 1991), The Colorado Front Range, a Century of Ecological Change (Veblen and Lorenz 1991), and Grand Canyon, a Century of Change (Webb 1996).

  • Valles Caldera National Preserve Land Use History
    More Than a Scenic Mountain Landscape: Valles Caldera National Preserve United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service Land Use History Rocky Mountain Research Station General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-196 September 2007 Kurt F. Anschuetz Thomas Merlan Anschuetz, Kurt F.; Merlan, Thomas. 2007. More than a scenic mountain landscape: Valles Caldera National Preserve land use history. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-196. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 277 p. Abstract This study focuses on the cultural-historical environment of the 88,900-acre (35,560-ha) Valles Caldera National Preserve (VCNP) over the past four centuries of Spanish, Mexican, and U.S. governance. It includes a review and synthesis of available published and unpublished historical, ethnohistorical, and ethnographic literature about the human occupation of the area now contained within the VCNP. Documents include historical maps, texts, letters, diaries, business records, photographs, land and mineral patents, and court testimony. This study presents a cultural-historical framework of VCNP land use that will be useful to land managers and researchers in assessing the historical ecology of the property. It provides VCNP administrators and agents the cultural-historical background needed to develop management plans that acknowledge traditional associations with the Preserve, and offers managers additional background for structuring and acting on consultations with affiliated communities. The Authors Kurt F. Anschuetz, an archaeologist and anthropologist, is the Program Director of the RÍo Grande Foundation for Communities and Cultural Landscapes in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He provides educational opportunities and technical assistance to Indian, Hispanic, and Anglo communities working to sustain their traditional relations with the land, the water, and their cultural heritage resources in the face of rapid development.

  • VALLES CALDERA NATIONAL PRESERVE Hydrology
    VALLES CALDERA NATIONAL PRESERVE Hydrology Existing Condition Report VALLES C ALDERA TRUST State of New Mexico Sandoval and Rio Arriba Counties P.O. Box 359 Jemez Springs, NM 87025 (505) 661-3333 [email protected] SWJML VALLES CALDERA NATIONAL PRESERVE Page 2 Existing Condition - Hydrology VALLES CALDERA NATIONAL PRESERVE Existing Condition - Hydrology Introduction Water quality is strongly influenced by surficial geology and deeper, structural elements. The temperature of some caldera stream water may be naturally warmed. Faulting controls valley and channel development, and has led to particular erosion sensitivity of certain slopes. Remnant ashflow along the footslopes of the resurgent domes and older caldera rim has secondary alluvial and landslide deposits which are particularly susceptible to erosion. The upland slopes of the caldera are connected by surface flow with the valley bottoms only through gullied swales or degraded 1st order draws that are entirely within the slope deposits mentioned. The 1935 aerial photographs show all of the present gully forms and that many were then actively scouring. These photos predate the industrial logging and road building and 1960’s stock tank construction. Historic sheep grazing may have been the single most important management activity that contributed to gully starts. The possibility is raised that the extent of perennial wet valley bottoms (fens do still exist) was much greater in pre-settlement times, and surface flow on the valley bottoms was more dispersed. In general the present stream channels are in an upward trend with regards to bank stability although the process is slowed by a paucity of transported material. Physical Setting/Geology The Jemez River begins in the Jemez Mountains, which includes the Valles Caldera complex.

    VOLCANO TYPES of New Mexico Volcano Simple New Mexico How and Why It Erupts Type Drawing/Section Example • violent explosive and catastrophic eruption of glowing clouds of ash that flow away from the caldera (ash-flows or pyroclastic flows), due to very high gas content and very high silica magma in a very large magma chamber caldera • the roof of the extremely large, shallow magma chamber collapses during and after eruption (super volcano) • uplift (rebound) of the caldera floor over a long period of time to form Redondo Peak, Valles Caldera and even later eruptions of high silica, low gas content lava domes around the interior margin of the caldera • lava intrudes earlier lava and piles up at the vent, because very high silica magma makes the lava viscous dome • mostly non-explosive eruptions, due to low gas content magma • near-surface intrusions are formed when continued eruptions push into the pile Cerro La Jara, Valles Caldera, Jemez Mtns • many intermittent eruptions of different types over a long time period caused by changes in the magma composition • built by lava flows, ash, and domes from multiple conduits of intermediate to low composite viscosity due to medium to low silica and gas content magma • intermittent mudflows and landslides are interlayered with ash, lava flows. and broken rocks due to crumbly materials erupted on steep upper slopes Mount Taylor volcano cinder • single to multiple eruptions that extend over years to decades • moderately explosive eruptions of mafic (basaltic) composition, including lava flows,
