Forest Service Road 376

Camped nearby and wanted the wife to see the Gilman Tunnels. The trail is open and in pretty good shape, just a lot of washboarding. The tunnels are always interesting. The northern end was crowded with campers. Pretty drive!

closed for the season

The trail was closed just past the Gilman tunnels. No reason was listed.

Closed for the season! See you in 2022!

Very easy trail that can be done in anything. For some challenges check out the MVUM and take some trails and offshoots. The maps don't always match up with what is on the ground so be ready to back track. Excellent camping not far off the main road. Beautiful drive however and worth it no matter how capable your rig.

Jeep Compass Trailhawk 2018. Super fun trail! 20+ miles of peaceful easy driving. Very wide and was pretty dry when we ran it. Great scenery, especially near the tunnel area. Plenty of places to pull over and admire nature. Take your time and enjoy!

Trail was open from NM485 to at least NM126. Good condition. Very easy trail. Graded dirt road with frequent turn-outs and wide spots for camping/fishing. Two tunnels at the south end, be careful if you have a trailer. Beautiful scenery. Nice easy drive on a weekend afternoon. Bring a lunch and some camp chairs.

Forest Road 376 is Temporarily Closed at Mile Marker 5.3 for Public Safety The Jemez Ranger District has closed Forest Road (FR) 376 to through traffic due to a blocked culvert at mile marker 5.3, approximately 4 miles north of the Gilman Tunnels and 3 miles south of Porters Landing. The culvert is slated for replacement, but recent monsoonal weather patterns and the subsequent runoff and debris have made it an immediate public safety issue. SFNF personnel have placed temporary barricades on both sides of the blocked area, and visitors are advised to avoid using FR 376. The work to replace the culvert is expected to begin soon, which will require a longer-term closure of FR 376. “We regret the inconvenience this may cause, but our first priority is always public safety,” Jemez District Ranger Brian Riley said. Before contractors begin the major work on the culvert, the district will place signage at the north and south entrances to FR 376 to let the public know that the road is closed. For additional information, contact the Jemez District Office at 575-829-3535.

Two of my favorite things about this trail - Almost 20 continuous miles of easy access to trout fishing and lots of secluded primitive campsites. And it's such a short drive from Albuquerque!
