Beautiful views, correct coordinates

The coordinates are spot on, but Apple/google maps won’t take you to the right way. When leaving Durango, instead of turning right onto 225A to 510, stay on 160 until mile marker 97 and the turn off is on the right soon after the mile marker. There were a few other campers there and some tent spots. You might want 4WD for some of the spots but others you can get to with 2WD. There were already fire circles set up and the views were great!

Do not map to these coordinates

The coordinates listed here are wrong. It will navigate you to. A residential area with no access to BLM land. Instead, search for Durfield dispersed camping nearby and it will take you to the correct place.

Nice place to stop!

Some areas are rough yet our Bronco and Bushwhacker conquered it. Keep driving until you find a spot. Private and secluded. Fire pits at most spots. Great sky view. Very dispersed so pack in and pack out.
