“Two ways to (mostly) get there”

Reviewed 10/12/2023

Days stayed:	2
Site Number:	N/A

Overall Rating

I stayed on the Taos plateau side. Wonderful and almost no people. You can get to the same area on highway 522 to get to the canyon, or enter from highway 64 (also called John Dunn Bridge Road) and go through the plateau. Quite a few turnarounds on the plateaus with fire pits and almost no one stays on that side. One of the best night ... more

Overall Rating

There are a few large spots near the edge of the canyon with amazing views. As previously mentioned, you cannot access from the east where the bridge is. The road from the west is a bit bumpy, but there were no large ruts or anything like that. 4 bars of Verizon LTE.

We arrived July 2 and there was no one around! Cool nights, but will warm up quickly.
Do not try to access via the Dunn bridge. The switch backs are closed and have been for a while. Make sure to enter from the west.

“Great Remote Place To Spend The Night”

Overall Rating

This is about 4 miles of Hwy 64. Do not try to reach it via the John Dunn bridge because the road is closed passed the bridge. Great view to the mountains and the rio grande below.

“Closed”

noted 4/21/2023

Doesn’t say why, doesn’t say how long. BUT it does say the fine is $250 if you breach the rope.
There was like 7 papers stapled over top of each other of the closure so it’s probably been closed a while.
It was a difficult drive there with our 25ft rig towing our car on a dolly. And very difficult to try to turn around. There is a sign that says ‘Detour’
There is no detour. We got caught up on some very nasty roads.
