Rio Fernando de Taos - Forest Rd 5
Reviewed Jul. 5, 2023

Headwaters of Rio Fernando de Taos

Highway 64 between Taos and Angel Fire > Turn onto Forest Rd 5 and go to end

Solid road, no issue with 25ft travel trailer.

There's a gravel cul-de-sac with a couple obvious places to camp.  Also a couple two tracks roads continuing into the woods, but those weren't passable due to mud.

There's a few small ponds which appear to be the beginning of the Rio Fernando.  I think there's some restoration work going on if I'm not mistaken.  

I tried parking so that I was looking out at the clearing, but this made levelling my trailer pretty difficult.  Probably would be easier to just keep in on the gravel.

I somehow had 5g reception here on Verizon, and Starlink also worked well.
