Auto Tour
At Las Vegas National Wildlife Refuge
Our 8-mile Auto Tour starts on State Hwy 281 and County Rd C22C, and leads visitors through the refuge and around McAllister State Park housed within the refuge boundaries and managed by NM State Parks. During our large events like Summer Fest and Fall Flight Festivals, visitors can drive the back road tour on refuge, but this road is closed to the public at any other time without special permission.
