Area Map Sierra
Los
Pinos
(SLP)
is
a
rural
community
located
at
an 8,000 ft elevation in the north-central Jemez mountains of New
Mexico
in
the
Santa
Fe
National
Forest. It is approximately 20 miles from Los Alamos and 70 miles from Santa Fe and Albuquerque.
Approximately
125
families
and
countless
creatures
reside
in
SLP.
Living
in
the
mountains
requires
adaptability
and
preparedness.
There
are
few
convenient
or
reliable
services
and
inclement
weather
conditions
during
the
winter
and
spring
months
can
make
roads
difficult
to
travel
due
to
mud,
ice,
drifting
and
heavy
snows,
and
bring
subzero
temperatures.
Power
outages,
and
water
shortages
occur
throughout
the
year.
Low
moisture
years
keep
residents
on
the
alert
for
possible
fire
evacuation.
SLP
has
one
county
maintained
road,
a
volunteer
fire
department,
occasional
sheriff
and
animal
control
patrols,
and
a
limited
team
of
volunteers,
and
paid
contractors
working
with
a
small
budget
to
handle
the
needs
of
the
association.
SLPPOA
makes
no
guarantees
on
water
availability
or
quality,
electric
or
telephone
service,
accessible
or
safe
road
conditions,
or
prompt
emergency
or
fire
response.
Despite
that,
it's
a
community
of
mostly
friendly
people
.
