This free dispersed site sits on the edge of Black Mesa, accessible via rough roads that favor high-clearance vehicles though four-wheel drive isn't required. Campers find an established fire pit with rock cover and expansive views stretching for miles across colorful terrain below. Snow-capped mountains appear in the eastern distance on clear days.
The site offers minimal shade but maintains a clean environment with no litter or debris reported by visitors. A small cairn marks the spot where previous campers have added stones. Cell service reaches the area, and both pets and alcohol are permitted. The location works well for overlanders and those comfortable with basic dispersed camping who want mesa-top views without developed facilities.
