Ok but not much shade

This is the second spot on Tanque road. The first spot was taken so we decided to keep on traveling down the road. There is no other spots between the first spot and this one AND no where to really turn around. Right before is a pretty big wash and a steep hill slanted to one side. The spot is big enough for at least 4 campers with flat areas and fire rings. Kids would love all the rocks!! We used our side by side to travel over to the Hot Springs and I would not recommend for any big rigs to go farther that this spot. It is deep sand, lots of washed out road and very bumpy. The spot has spectacular views of all the mountains but no shade.
Someone must have took apart a building here because there is lots of wood for a fire. The night sky is amazing with no light pollution
