TAOS, N.M. - The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announces the temporary closure of the Posi-Ouinge Trail, which is managed by the BLM Taos Field Office. On Aug. 6, a structure fire occurred at a bathhouse located within the Ojo Caliente Resort and Spa, which is near the Posi-Ouinge trailhead.  

The BLM asks that the public refrain from entering this area until we announce that it is reopening.
