Are you looking forward to warmer weather and outside evening strolls with your pups? Us too!

When you take a walk through our Chihuahuan Desert Experience (CDE) you’ll come across this sign that showcases the Franklin Mountain & Keystone Watershed. The artist put meticulous detail into showing us how water collects and flows from the mountains, into arroyos, and then into the Mesilla-Bolson groundwater aquifer, before recharging the Rio Grande. If you sit on the bench just right, and the outlines of the mountains will line up, you can even see the Thunderbird!

A note about pets: we love having your fur friends in the park, please ensure they are on leashes at all times and pick up after them.

Plus! If you take a look at the Spanish fountain area while you’re here, you’ll notice a big difference from something here in this photo!

The last of our photo posts from Luminarias by the Lake 2024! Thank you all for such a lovely holiday season and spending your time in the gardens and wetlands at Keystone Heritage Park.

Remember as we het deeper into winter, the gardens are still open. Lots of plants are dormant for the season, but we have lots of bird visitors from up north! So even if things look different, there’s still lots to see the gardens.

Part 3 of photos from Luminarias by the Lake 2024!

Did you know that the Doña Ana County 4H Ridge Runners set up over 2,000 luminarias in the gardens for us all to enjoy? It’s pretty incredible! We love having them with us for the festivities each year!
