Nice spot

There was not a lot spots here, but these spots are tucked right beside a big gorge with a trail down to the river. The trail leads down to the Rio Grande and is challenging. Peaceful and good views. This spot is do able with 2 wheel drive. The only problems you would have is if there was a big rain.

Beautiful spot

Beware drive in can be muddy if raining 4wd recommended and AWD is fine too. Front or Rwd is doable but at your own risk.

Bathroom Firepit Table There are only 4 available spots.

Cliffside camping, close to a market about 15 minutes away.

Has a hiking trail 1.25 miles down along the canyon to the river, cactus and volcanic rock all the way down. Coming back up is tough, so pack light. Decent gold panning area with swimmable spots.

All around great spot with a beautiful sunset.
