Rock Hound State Park in New Mexico
Two years ago around this time, we camped at a unique little state park north of Deming, New Mexico called the City of Rocks. While enjoying the beautiful high desert scenery, several other campers told us about another New Mexico state park to the south called Rock Hound State Park. They gave it an emphatic thumbs up.
Unfortunately, our schedule was tight as we were trying to make serious miles on our way to visit Big Bend Ranch State Park in Texas, so another time maybe. Well, this snowbird season saw us once again in southern New Mexico with Rock Hound SP on the todo list. —http://www.loveyourrv.com/rock-hound-state-park/
Got this one on the list too. Right after City of Rock. Looks like some pretty interesting mountain biking according to the pictures on MTB Project.
Slim, since you mentioned mountain biking, you might be interested in an area just east of Las Cruces that we just left. Specifically, the Sierra Vista Trail off Dripping Springs Road. We are not MBer’s but we saw lots of them during our boondocking on site last week.
Dripping Springs Road sounds familiar but I haven’t heard of Sierra Vista Trail. Doesn’t Dripping Springs come right out of Las Cruces?
Just looked Sierra Vista on Trailforks, an excellent trail finding website. And according to my map/info there is boondocking right on that road. Of course chances are that you folks posted the information, or maybe it was Campendium. A-Mountain is another little trail system right there too. Guess I need to put it on the list.
Coordinates for the trail are: 32.32853, -106.63213
Mike & Patricia, I am in your debt. That is just the kind of information that I love to collect; camping at the trailhead. Thank You!
