Beautiful views!

We came on a holiday weekend so the main camp area was full. We carried our stuff down the trail a bit and made a temporary site. It was the best ever because we woke up with views and everyone else woke up to busy hikers getting ready at the crack of dawn. Ha! It would still be beautiful over there, don't get me wrong, just trying to keep myself jazzed about making a bunch of trips back to the car.

Quiet Remote Campground

Spent one night on our way to New Mexico. Great campground, very quiet and remote. Road is a little rough getting in and out but vistas were beautiful.
