We’re pleased to inform you that Carrizo Canyon Road is now OPEN!
Crews have been working diligently to address the issues with the power line, ensuring everything is safe for travel.
Thank you all for your patience and cooperation during this time. We appreciate your understanding as we worked to resolve these important safety concerns.
We want to inform you that Carrizo Canyon Road is currently closed from the Mescalero Reservation line into Ruidoso due to a fallen power line. This situation poses safety hazards, and as such, the road will remain inaccessible until further notice.
At this time, we do not have an estimated reopening time. We encourage everyone to seek alternative routes to avoid the area and ensure your safety.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Please stay tuned for updates, and take care out there!

As we prepare to welcome in the new year, we want to remind everyone that fireworks are permitted under our tribal code. However, with the current dry drought conditions, safety is our top priority.
Please practice caution and follow these guidelines to ensure a safe celebration:
Let’s enjoy a beautiful and safe new year together!
