Description
Pinyon and ponderosa old-growth frame this quiet pullout inside El Malpais National Monument, set among the ancient lava flows and volcanic landmarks of west-central New Mexico near Bandera Crater. County Road 42 leads in off the highway — the surface handles dry conditions well but turns problematic in wet weather, so check the forecast before heading down. An established fire ring marks the site, and the surrounding monument landscape, including the nearby Bandera Volcano trail corridor, is within easy reach on foot.
