Something not right?

Description

Few really amazing spots here near the top of the mountain found following the Enchanted Rockies Trail. Room for a few rigs up here. I followed Forest road 76 from Tres Ritos to get up here, took a couple hours with VERY rough road. Likely faster to come from Angel Fire instead. Nothing too technical but very rocky terrain, some mud pits, and a couple off camber parts. I'd recommend high clearance, off-road tires, and despite most being passable in 2wd I needed 4lo due to the steep grade and my vehicle weight. Very fun drive though!

Epic overlook primitive camping spot. Road in is very rocky coming in from Angel Fire but I did it in a 4runner without putting it in 4wd. Pictures speak for themselves. 2 bars LTE on AT&T. Fresh bear tracks FYI

This truly was a beautiful place to set up camp. The 7 miles in from the main road seemed to take forever (45min) but it is 100% worth it. We trekked in with snow on the ground and needed 4x4 to make it to this site. We arrived to plenty of big game tracks and a beautiful view of the sunrise. 10 out of 10 recommend.
