The Valle Vidal area in Colfax County is now open as authorities say the Ute Park Fire is no longer a threat. The fire, burning south of the Valle Vidal area, is 35 percent contained.
The west side of the Valle Vidal in Taos County remains closed due to elk calving season.
Fire restrictions remain in place across the Carson National Forest, meaning campfires are prohibited and smoking is allowed only in vehicles or buildings.
Despite a few instances of illegal campfires, authorities say people have complied with the restrictions. That has allowed crews to focus on recent lightning-caused fires.
