Tips from locals
Absolutely beautiful year round. Great for hiking, camping, fishing, rafting, picnicking, and scenic drives. Keep a look out for bighorn sheep - it’s not unusual to see them foraging near roads and trails.
Growing up in Cerro this is where we would always gather for family celebrations or to just go hiking and fishing. Beautiful scenery, it's peaceful and serene. Also a great place to run or bike, as there is very little traffic and no dogs to chase you! :)
