Visitor activities include hiking, biking, equestrian riding, fishing, hunting, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing. Through a special use permit process, grazing continues within some areas of the preserve, but on a smaller scale than when the land was a privately owned ranch. The area is mountainous and mostly undeveloped. Elevations range from 7,800' to 11,254'. Temperatures during the summer can range from near freezing (night) to the mid-80 degrees (F) (day), while winter temperatures can reach -30 degrees F. The weather is typically dry and sunny, but monsoon rains are likely each day during the summer. Winters generally see 3-5 feet of snow, so driving under winter road conditions is required. Primary access is by dirt roads, which require the use of 4WD or AWD vehicles or the use of tire chains. Secondary access is by hiking (summer) or skiing/snowshoeing (winter), which can be challenging considering the weather and elevation.
