Views and Rockhounding

Rockhound SP, NM: If you like to hunt for rocks, or just be away from everything, this is a good place. Mountains are unique. Can’t get tired of looking at them. Only one trail here. Some nearby. (Scale 1- bad, 5-Very good

(71 yr olds in 17’ trailer.)

Rig Size: Large rigs Sites: All sites in non electric loop are nice and well spaced. 1 and 3 are the best. Large 5th wheel had trouble backing in to #3, having to back up cg road to do so. #2 looks down on#1. Our site here was # 2. #0 looks over the day use area in one direction. #5 is closest to entry road into the cg. However, not much traffic into cg during our short stay.
I would be pleased with any site in this loop.
