Creates a new wilderness area and adjusts a national monument boundary in New Mexico.
This bill would create the Cerro de la Olla Wilderness, protecting about 12,295 acres of federal land in Taos County, New Mexico. It would also adjust the boundary of the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument. This means visitors would have a new protected natural space to explore, and federal land managers would oversee its conservation.
Today, the Cerro de la Olla Wilderness does not exist, and the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument has a different boundary. If this bill passes, about 12,295 acres of federal land in Taos County, New Mexico, would become the new Cerro de la Olla Wilderness, and the monument's boundary would be updated according to a map dated April 1, 2025.
