American Springs

Probably not a must have, but I highly recommend a four-wheel-drive high clearance to get back into the camp spots here, but there are a handful of spots. Just keep going further back in there either on the left or the right. Give you a good view of Los Alamos and some snow covered peaks.

There are two sites here and I stayed at the first one. The road is quite rocky and there’s a large washout just past the first site. Any SUV could handle it but being in an extended length van limits where I can go. Very peaceful with a nice view down the canyon. Elk grazing below were the cherry on top.

Great spot once you make the steep road up!!! We camped close to the entrance. We explored and found some amazing sites further back
