Parts of New Mexico Forest Temporarily Closed for Fort Wingate Missile Test
Beginning at 2 p.m. on November 8, parts of the Mount Taylor Ranger District of the Cibola National Forest near the Fort Wingate Army depot in McKinley County, New Mexico — including roads and trails — are temporarily closed because the U.S. Army plans a missile test in the area. The closure is intended to protect public health and safety.
The closure order, No. 03-03-02-26-22, was issued by the U.S. Forest Service. The first closure window runs from 2 p.m. on November 8 to 4 p.m. on November 9, and a second from 2 p.m. on November 19 to 4 p.m. on November 20, unless rescinded. Fort Wingate is in northwestern New Mexico near Gallup, and the affected forest areas are off-limits to the public during the test windows.
The full closure order is posted on the Forest Service website, and the areas will reopen after the tests conclude.
