A fly fishing guide recommended I fish the San Antonio River. Why increase public access to this magnificant place when just a few mile east is Jemez Springs with all of its trampled beauty, overcrowded camp grounds and too many people willing to recreate with plastic left behind - and no desire to appreciate. Leave Valles Caldera alone - there exists a public who will find its way onto the preserve and leave it just as beautiful.
