Description

The Ladrones Vista Trail is the newest trail in the Sevilleta Wildlife Refuge. It extends from the southern vista point of the Mesa View Trail further along the mesa to the south, then follows a ridgeline back east towards the river valley. It eventually drops into an arroyo watershed and joins the nature loop to return to the visitor center.
