Hikers in New Mexico could soon be able to explore a new state park as a decision over the Slot Canyon Riverlands reaches lawmakers.
Slot Canyon is a rugged New Mexico canyon with walls up to 25 to 30ft (7.6 to 9.1m) high. It's home to the popular Slot Canyon hiking trail, which guides hikers through 2.5 miles (4km) of unique rock formations, and secluded desert areas.
