The Valles Caldera Trust is proposing a
10,000-square-foot visitor center near the current entrance to the Valles
Caldera National Preserve off N.M. 4, and a shuttle system that would reduce
the need for personal vehicles.
The trust on Monday issued a final
environmental impact statement that reviewed six alternatives for visitor
access and resource protection in the 89,000-acre preserve in the Jemez Mountains
near Los Alamos . The public has 30 days to
comment on the plan.
The visitor center would include a lobby, theater, exhibit
halls, classrooms, gift shop and observation decks. The preferred alternative
also includes shuttle service for visitors to reach hiking trails, fishing
spots and picnic areas proposed in the preserve.
More than 125 individuals, agencies
and groups commented on the draft environmental document in June.
