Answer:
A natural protected area in my city is Valles Caldera National Park. This park is located within
the Jemez Mountains in New Mexico and the area is most known for being the creator left
behind by a volcanic eruption that happened 1.25 million years ago. The park also has great
hiking trails, fly fishing, and an abundance of wildlife. Most people come to see the huge elk
herds that gather in the Caldera, especially during rutting season (which this time of year).
There are also areas nearby for camping both for rvs, tents, and unloading horses. I have not
had the chance to hike the trails in the park yet but many people in my neighborhood tell me
how nice it is so I think I will plan a day to head out there before it gets even colder because the
elevation of the Caldera is 11,253 feet above sea level. Some efforts that are made to protect the
animals and plants in the area are signs warning people what not to touch and do not throw
cigarettes or other trash. Some concerns that arise trying to protect the land are making sure
people do not start wildfires and be cautions of the animals such as black bears and coyotes so
that no one gets hurt.
There are also concerns of the state of the land after it rains because when it rains there
are typically floods.
