Borderland more enjoyable. The park is open daily
year round from 8am to sunset.

or stores within three miles of the park entrance; you may
wish to bring a picnic lunch. There are restrooms, a water

There is a $2 per car parking fee payable

when staff is on duty; mail-in applications can be picked
up from outside the main door when no staff are present. There
