Fantastic private canyons

We really enjoyed our site tucked in the canyon. It is one of my favorite camp sites I have ever visited. There were many places to explore and climb around, and we took our chairs and drinks into one of the crevasse “rooms” where it was nice and cool to hang out. Our spot was the second dirt road on the left of Wild Horse road after the state park boundary, and it curved back into a little private canyon. People camped in the nearby spots but we couldn’t see or hear them unless we went looking. My wife wasn’t a fan of the bats at night, but I thought they were great.

Our Explorer got stuck on a rock, but that was my own dumb mistake. All the rock faces in the cliff face watched us work to get it free.

Boondocking site on a hill

About 1/4 mile down a dirt road from Hwy 39 is a good single boondocking spot with a great view. Not for large RVs. Our 17 ft trailer with 4x4 was tricky to get into the spot because the loop was so small. Has a fire pit but with fire restrictions we didn’t have a fire. The view is fantastic of hills covered with aspen and fir trees. Quiet but cars can be heard now and then.

There are many other boondocking spots in this area but this one is a good one.
