Northwestern New Mexico

Travel Guide

Visible from the parking lot a short walk will get you this closer vantage point.
The Bisti Badlands in New Mexico are a place that seems to be out of this world. 

Stunning landscapes and stone formations everywhere. 
Only problem: It is in the middle of nowhere and you have to hike quite a little bit. There are no marked trails though. A GPS device is highly recommended.

This strange formation is known as the King of Wings. Its location has been a well kept secret for a long time and is still hard to find. I want to keep it that way and will not provide the GPS coordinates of this gem. 
It is located somewhere in the Ah Shi Sle Pah. 

This photo was taken a couple minutes after sunset.

Amazing cultural history of our past inhabitants in the Southwest.
My campground for a night in the Bisti De Na Zin Wilderness.

Great glamping tent. Clean and furnished well. No TV, but hey, it's glamping. A little drafty but still very comfy. The lady I dealt with there was the nicest ever. Would do it again.

This place is amazing! Friendly dogs and great scenery. The perfect place to just get away from it all. Peaceful, secluded, and not too far from things you want to do. Avoid the crowds and condos. Come here if you really want to enjoy your stay from home!!
