Quiet, peaceful

Easy to find, follow Dyrt directions. Large Ponderosa Pines with White Cedar and Oak scrub. Spots aren't marked so be observant .

Great dispersed camping

Lots of options for sites on both sides of 162 before it starts going uphill.  Several sites off the smaller two track roads can support good size trailers with lots of flat open space.  A few sites in the trees right on the road could only support vans or tents.   Pics of all the major sites included

The main road 162 was in great condition until it starts going uphill, then it was rutted out.  Only a couple spots beyond this point.  Road is closed from Dec 15 through March 31.

TMobile access was mixed.  Sometimes limited LTE, sometimes 5G.

The paved road is loud in the morning and evening with ranch\quarry traffic, but it is very quiet at night.

It is above 7k, so it does get colder at night than the local forecast for Gallup.
