The State Parks Division will waive any day-use and overnight camping fees on Monday, Nov. 11, for New Mexico veterans, active military, National Guard and their dependents in recognition of Veterans Day.
“It is our privilege to say thank you to our veterans and to let them know we are grateful for their sacrifices and accomplishments,” said Toby Velasquez, State Parks director, in a news release. “We also want to recognize the many veterans working in our state parks who now protect and serve the public and landscapes we cherish. Their contributions will be remembered for generations to come.”
In partnership with the New Mexico Department of Veterans Services, the State Parks Division also honors New Mexico veterans who have a 50% or greater service-connected disability with an annual day-use pass and one three-day camping pass per year.
