The Capulin Snow Play Area, located on Forest Road 438B, off Sandia Crest Highway 536, is currently open.
The area will remain open until snow base conditions deteriorate to a level where resource damage could occur.
Due to recent and continual vandalism and theft of fee tubes across the district, the public is encouraged to purchase their day-use passes online at recreation.gov.
The cost is $3 per vehicle for one day unless you purchase the Sandia Ranger District Amenity Pass. The fee for 15-plus passenger vans and buses is $10 per vehicle.
The Sandia Ranger District Annual Amenity Pass is $30. It is valid for a full year until the end of the month in which you purchase it. If you have a current America the Beautiful Interagency Annual, Access, Senior, Military or Every Kid Outdoors pass, please display it on your dashboard or hang it on your rearview mirror.
