Camping ok, spoke to rancher

This location seems to be past the fence onto the local ranchers property. I spoke to the ranchers, or a hand and they said they do not care, feel free to camp, just don't block their corral.

Awesome spot.

Amazing spot that gets you right up to the river blasted walls of the mountain. I followed the path to the spot deeper. We can hear coyotes howling in the distance. I have dispersed camped for the last 8 months straight over 9k miles now, and I’m so happy with this spot. It’s one of my favorites so far. It’s clean, secluded. I am here in June, and it’s hot. BEWARE you need 4x4 and high clearance. You absolutely will get very stuck if you attempt it in anything else. Enjoy!
