Conservation Note
Stick to marked trails and follow operator guidance—vegetation is fragile at high elevations and off-trail ATV use accelerates erosion; operators generally limit routes to reduce impact.
The park sits on volcanic highlands historically used for grazing and timber; it became a protected recreation area for residents of the Valley of Mexico in the 20th century.
