Seven Sites, Seven Sisters

Rio Grande Gorgeous offers tables
and grills, shelters and facilities —

except Rio Pueblo and Lone Juniper.
Swift, cold river currents discourage

swimming nudity; but gentle waters
and small rapids are ideal for naked

canoes, kayaks, non-whitewater rafts.
All boaters must honor the Pilar Quiet Zone.

Anglers may improve, fishing rainbow trout.
Steep, strenuous trails need sturdy shoes

and drinking water. Over-heated hiking
is not allowed. On all other trails, stop

and center – off of camp grounds.
Simply observe the Pleiades.
