San Juan NF Dispersed off FR 257 (Bean Canyon Road)

Description

San Juan National Forest's high mesa country surrounds this stretch of Bean Canyon Road (FR 257), a dirt forest road scattered with numerous small dispersed sites at roughly 7,500 feet in elevation. Fire rings are present at the site, and the open canopy provides a clear sky for satellite connectivity. The road is passable for high-clearance rigs but can get muddy in wet conditions, so timing matters on the approach.
