GuideGreat, quiet camping near wild horses! Gorgeous scenery! Great hiking! We had an amazing trip! We also got to watch a modern Cattle Drive! I think we accidentally timed our trip perfectly! And we not only saw Wild Horses, we woke up to them grazing in our camp ground! Note: no water, no garbage service, and no cell service. For us...no problem! We do carry an InReach Emergency communication device that we can always get an emergency message out... needed it here our 1st trip here when our truck broke down. Easily fixed and we were back enjoying camping, so still a perfect trip.
We enjoyed our trip so much we have been back several times! This is now one of our favorite camping places.
