Tent
This spot is really great for naturalists. The essence of the wild plains is here. In order to navigate around the property to find a good spot to set your tent, you will be driving on un-maintained two-track in sand -- if you don't know how to drive in sand do not try it. Rainy conditions would make these tracks too difficult and even if you could make it through you'd be making the ruts worse for others. Sometimes, the ruts are deep and occasionally the track goes over a water diversion berm -- if you have a high-clearance 4x4 but it has a long wheelbase, passing here may be impossible. The property is within ten or twenty miles of the Mountain Route of the Santa Fe Trail -- you can see the Spanish peaks to the west and you can see a prominent table mesa to the east, which is right next to Bent's Old Fort. I've heard you can see Raton Mesa from Bent's on a clear pressure-inversion day! Many burrowing owls, fox, coyotes, jackrabbits, bugs, and zero mosquitoes. We set tent on a lucky find high-ground sand patch next to the two-track, as, the bunchgrass prairie is too lumpy.

We made it to the site. Wonderful, private and peaceful place. The last quarter mile is a dirt road (no gravel) with deep ruts. Made it in fine with our Sprinter, but unfortunately decided to bail on the site as 2" of rain was expected overnight. It would have made the exit sketchy with the slick clay. Will try again if in the area.
