Summary[edit]

Description

BLM's Cebolla Wilderness, located within the El Malpais National Conservation Area, includes 61,600 acres of rimrock country east of NM 117. Sanstone mesas, canyons and grassy valleys characterize the area. The Mesas and canyons are clad with juniper, piñon, and ponderosa pine. Vertical escarpments provide excellent nesting habitat for golden eagles, prairie falcons, red-tail hawks, and great horned owls.

The Cebolla Wilderness is rich in prehistoric archaeological sites, petroglyphs and historic homesteads. One such archaeological site is the Dittert Site (Download Brochure). Sometime between A.D. 1000 and1300, the Dittert Site was built and occupied by the Anasazi people, who were the ancestors of modern Pueblo Indian people. Cebolla Wilderness also contains La Ventana Natural Arch, a dramatic arch sculpted through wind and water erosion in the sandstone cliffs located about ¼ mile inside the wilderness.

Recreation activities include primitive types, such as hiking, backpacking, camping, wildlife viewing and horseback riding.
