Salt Creek Wilderness is a neat area with lots of hiking. The views are awesome, wildlife, the flowers are beautiful, the watering holes are neat (can be a bit muddy and sticky beware!) with dark colors and swirls.... entrancing and enchanting!

Great spot to wander! Saw badgers, jackrabbit and lots of insects. Bring a uv light to find those scorpions!

Not sure if this place is marked wrong on the Google maps but there is a gate that is close. Map says I still got 3 miles to go but there is a sign that says unauthorized entry prohibited.

Really great place to explore if you have plenty of time beautiful

Was so nice to get out in pretty weather and enjoy some fresh air. Hiked with out dog m

Terrible. Biting flies everywhere.

Fun for everyone with an imagination

Kids had a blast!

Public land. Lots of good hiking. Short drive from town. Beautiful area

Salt Creek Wilderness is the northern section of the greater Bitter Lake NWR. This is a pretty cool place when you take the time to explore it. The sinkholes scattered across the property are very interesting to see in this otherwise very dry area. Be prepared for a primitive hiking experience though. The property is a wilderness area so there are only a few dirt roads and parking lots for access. There are no facilities or areas to get drinking water and there are no dedicated trails other than the dirt roads. Aside from the sinkholes the Pecos River flows through here and there are some pretty red foothills in the northern part of the property. Lots of quail, cottontails, jackrabbits, wildflowers, and lizards can be seen here as well as ducks and dragonflies around the sinkholes.
