Over Landing Over Look

Tent site · Sleeps 6

Over Landing Overlook at Way Out There Ranch- Perched at the highest vantage point of our 60-acre artist retreat, the High Land Overlook offers the most dramatic 360° views in the Solitario. This is a true off-grid "peak" experience, situated over 150 feet above the basin floor. Why this site? Site can fit 3 tent campers or 3 rooftop truck rigs and is offered only as one site, so just your group. Elite Stargazing: Located on a high ridge, you are closer to the stars with zero light obstruction. The Trails: Step directly from your tent onto our hand-lined rock trails leading to hidden fossils and stone vista benches. The Rig: This site features a cleared, flat pad perfect for overlanding setups or ground tents. Note: This site is 14 miles from pavement and requires a high-clearance vehicle. It is a primitive, pack-in/pack-out experience for those who value solitude above all else.
