Cerrillos Hills State Park, State park in Cerrillos, United States.
The park features rolling hills with various elevations between 5,900 and 6,100 feet across five miles of trails near Santa Fe and Albuquerque.
During the late 19th century, miners extracted gold, silver, and turquoise from these hills, leaving behind remnants that now form part of the landscape.
Several interpretive trails provide information about the natural environment, mining practices, and geological formations that define the New Mexico landscape.
The visitor center opens from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM on Saturdays and Sundays, offering exhibits about local history and natural features.
The park grounds contain numerous mineral deposits and rock formations that attract geologists for research and educational purposes.
