Oliver Lee Memorial State Park

The Sacramento Mountains have us stoked over their beauty, and Oliver Lee Memorial State Park is a perfectly unique place to enjoy them! Camping under the stars in the Chihuahuan Desert makes you feel like you’re in a planetarium, and you’re sure to finds a lot of peace and quiet out here. The trails for hiking are both relaxing (try the Riparian Nature Trail) and challenging (Dog Canyon trail is for you), and each offers wildlife viewing and scenic mountain vistas. One-of-a-kind pools of water form under the cottonwoods here and they—along with the huge cacti and wildflowers—aren’t to be missed. For rejuvenation and a chance to discover the mountains without the crowds, put Oliver Lee at the top of your list!
