Good to know

Unfenced — the livestock fencing won’t contain dogs, and busy roads surround the park, so reliable voice control is essential.
The pasture is flood-irrigated April–October, so expect mud and uneven footing in warmer months.
At ~4,500 ft with hot dry summers and cold winters there’s little shade out in the open; carry water and watch paws on frozen or sun-baked ground.
