Beautiful

Lovely area. Very quiet, tall trees, no one around. I stayed only one night on my way North, but definitely wouldn't mind staying longer. Recommended.

Bones and Bullet Shells

Stayed 2 nights at a pullout a bit before this pin along the road in, shortly after the San Juan Natl. Forest sign. Great place to crash out near Mesa Verde/Canyon of the Ancients. Lots of bones and bullet shells where we stayed, and the mud in this area is a special kind of sticky. Moderate amount of traffic along road, would go further up next time to avoid dog barking at nearby residential. Overall great spot, no problems, would recommend!
