Secluded from it all! This private 7 acre land sits at 10,500 feet in the Sangre de Cristo mountain range. Surrounded by blue spruce and aspen trees with wide-open views of the skies for maximum star gazing. Roads in are graded dirt best accessed by 4x4 or all-wheel drive. It can get muddy during rain storms and snow is possible during the summer. Drive right in to access multiple flat spots to setup your site. Views are plentiful! This is as rugged as it gets. This high alpine location provides stunning views and endless chill time. This location is smack-dab in the middle of one of the largest elk herds in the world. There are plenty of deer, bear and the occasional moose. This is steep country - bring your trekking poles! There is plenty to explore on the land, plus miles of hiking on Forbes road. You'll be roughly and hour away from the Great Sand Dunes National Park, 40 mins from Ft Garland, under 2 hours to Taos, NM, and Mountain Home Reservoir is just down the road - great fishing! Ideal tent spot with room for multiple families.Secluded from it all! This private 7 acre land sits at 10,500 feet in the Sangre de Cristo mountain range.

True story - on a foggy, rainy night, dragging a trailer to Ryan’s spot was daunting for me. The road was rutted from rain washout and the climb steep at times. The descent into the spot was also steep, All that being said, I made it and was happy I kept going! He’s not kidding about bringing a shovel in case of inclement weather. I drive a Jeep Grand Cherokee and pull a 19ft trailer. I opted to stop at the first flat spot due to the tight turn and washed out road to the main spot. Without a trailer it would be totally fine. It was beautiful and quiet. I will return! ATT signal very intermittent if you need it.
