Description
Carson National Forest's FR 438 corridor winds through a wooded canyon near Pot Creek, with this particular pullout sitting directly alongside a small creek in the Taos-area foothills. The site is spacious and accommodates larger rigs, though low-hanging branches at the forest road entrance call for some care on the way in. Tree cover is dense enough to limit solar angles, and cell service is generally absent — Starlink works with careful placement.
