Beautiful location and views. Clean restrooms. It was cool to look out and see the deer wondering around our 5th Wheel. The mosquitoes were the only negative but the OFF kept them away.

We stopped to view the museum. World class gun collection. Outstanding displays! Very friendly and informative staff. Definitely a worthwhile stop south of Raton. We didn’t stay overnight but they said they have nice accommodations.
