In-depth guide · CampingSpirit
From Albuquerque along the Turquoise Trail to Santa Fe, to the cliff dwellings of Bandelier, through the Valles Caldera and the Jemez valley to the ruins of Chaco Canyon, and back via Abiquiú, Ghost Ranch and Ojo Caliente: around 950 kilometres at altitudes between 1,600 and 2,700 metres.
The spirit of the route
In northern New Mexico the air is so thin and dry that distances shrink: a mesa that looks close enough to touch is 30 kilometres away. The route runs through a landscape of red sandstone, white volcanic tuff and dark ponderosa forest, through adobe villages and past pueblos whose people have lived here for centuries. In the morning you look out of the sliding door at hoarfrost on the grasslands of the Valles Caldera and elk at the forest edge; at midday in summer, thunderclouds pile up over the Jemez Mountains; in the evening Cerro Pedernal glows above Abiquiu Lake. The highlight is Chaco Canyon: at the end of a gravel road, with no shop and no signal, lie the walls of Pueblo Bonito, and at night a starry sky stretches over them of a kind Europe has almost forgotten. Here you drive slowly, plan around water and weather, and listen.
Stage-by-stage plan
1Stage 1: Albuquerque to Santa Fe (approx. 110 km)
- The drive
- Take the I-40 east through Tijeras Canyon, then the NM-14 north: the Turquoise Trail is a two-lane country road of around 80 kilometres (50 miles) on the east side of the Sandia Mountains, with wide curves through juniper and piñon hills, speed limit mostly 55 mph. South of Madrid the road drops into the valley on a winding, steep section; after that the view opens across the Galisteo Basin to the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The detour on the Sandia Crest Scenic Byway (NM-536) up to around 3,250 metres adds about 45 kilometres and an hour. Pure driving time without detours around 2 hours; fuel in Albuquerque, Cedar Crest and Santa Fe, hardly any along the way.
- Highlights & must-sees
- Sandia Crest: viewpoint on the ridge of the Sandia Mountains looking out over the Rio Grande valley; the road is passable for motorhomes but winding, with a day-use fee at the top (America the Beautiful Pass valid). The ridge is dangerous during afternoon thunderstorms – better to go in the morning.
- Madrid: former coal town whose wooden houses are now home to galleries, workshops and cafés; the main street is narrow, so park large vehicles on the gravel areas at the edge of town.
- Cerrillos Hills State Park: hiking trails through hills where Pueblo people were mining turquoise more than a thousand years ago; old shafts are fenced off, so stay on the trails. Next door is the village of Cerrillos, with an adobe church and gravel streets straight out of a western.
- CampingSpirit overnight tip
-
Official campsite or RV park: Hyde Memorial State Park: state park founded in 1938, around 13 kilometres north-east of the Plaza on the winding Hyde Park Road (NM-475), at around 2,500 to 2,600 metres in ponderosa forest; a few sites with electricity, the rest without hookups, drinking water, toilets. Reservations through the New Mexico State Parks system; check the vehicle length for each site, as the access road is hard work for large motorhomes. Just before it on the same road is Black Canyon Campground in the Santa Fe National Forest (no hookups, reservations via recreation.gov). With a large vehicle, the private RV parks on the southern edge of town along Cerrillos Road are the easier choice.
Free camping or nature tip (where legal): There is no legal free camping within Santa Fe city limits or along the NM-14; Cerrillos Hills State Park is open during the day only. West of town on the Caja del Rio plateau (Santa Fe National Forest and BLM land), dispersed camping is possible under federal rules, but the access roads are rough, partly sandy and unsuitable for large motorhomes – only on roads open to vehicles according to the Motor Vehicle Use Map.
- Insider tip for campers
- A good place to start from in Albuquerque is the municipal Coronado Campground in Bernalillo on the Rio Grande, with electricity and water, next to Coronado Historic Site (ruins of Kuaua). Before setting off, the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center in Albuquerque, owned by New Mexico’s 19 Pueblos, is worth a visit: it explains the history and visitor etiquette before you pass the first pueblos. In early October, during the Balloon Fiesta, every site around Albuquerque is booked out months in advance.
2Stage 2: Santa Fe to Bandelier National Monument (approx. 90 km)
- The drive
- Take the four-lane US-84/285 north to Pojoaque, then the NM-502 west across the Rio Grande and up long switchbacks onto the Los Alamos mesa (around 2,200 metres). Return to the junction and take the NM-4 via White Rock to the Bandelier entrance. Well-built roads with gradients but no tight hairpins; pure driving time around 1.5 hours. The roads cross the lands of Tesuque, Pojoaque and San Ildefonso Pueblos – stop only at public facilities. Fuel and groceries in Santa Fe, Pojoaque, Los Alamos or White Rock.
- Highlights & must-sees
- Tsankawi: detached section of Bandelier on the NM-4 near White Rock. A path worn ankle-deep into the soft tuff by the ancestors of today’s Pueblo people leads via ladders onto a mesa with unexcavated ruins, cliff cavates and petroglyphs. The car park is small and unsuitable for large motorhomes.
- Los Alamos: site of the Manhattan Project. The Bradbury Science Museum of Los Alamos National Laboratory and the visitor centre of Manhattan Project National Historical Park explain the history of the first atomic bomb; Fuller Lodge on Ashley Pond dates from the days of the Ranch School.
- White Rock Overlook: viewpoint on the rim of White Rock Canyon, 300 metres above the Rio Grande, looking out to the Sangre de Cristo Mountains – at its best in the low light of early evening.
- CampingSpirit overnight tip
-
Official campsite or RV park: Juniper Campground in Bandelier: on the mesa just past the park entrance, around 50 sites in three loops without hookups, drinking water taps, toilets with running water, no showers. In winter the water is turned off; filling and emptying at the dump station only from about mid-April to mid-October. Loop A year-round without reservations, B and C via recreation.gov up to six months in advance; C only from March to the end of October. There are only a few pull-through sites for larger vehicles; the length is listed for each site. Generators 8 am to 8 pm.
Free camping or nature tip (where legal): Overnight stays outside the campground are prohibited on Pueblo land and within the monument. In the Santa Fe National Forest on the slopes of the Jemez Mountains, dispersed camping is generally allowed, but during fire season it is often restricted or banned altogether; check the forest’s current stage restrictions.
- Insider tip for campers
- From Juniper Campground the Frey Trail takes you down into Frijoles Canyon to the visitor centre in around half an hour – sparing you the hunt for a parking space in the canyon, which is tight for motorhomes. In the summer half of the year a shuttle runs to the canyon at weekends; whether it is mandatory depends on the season and visitor numbers, so check the rules on nps.gov beforehand. When the car parks are full, vehicles are turned away at the entrance, so it pays to arrive early.
3Stage 3: Bandelier National Monument to Jemez Springs (approx. 75 km)
- The drive
- From Bandelier the NM-4 (Jemez Mountain Trail) climbs through forest scarred by the fires of recent decades to around 2,600 metres and runs along the edge of the Valles Caldera – an expanse of grassland so vast that herds of elk look like dots in it. The road then winds down through the East Fork Jemez and San Diego Canyon to Jemez Springs (around 1,900 metres): winding and steep in places, but without length restrictions. Pure driving time around 1.5 hours. There is no fuel station on this section, and only limited supplies in Jemez Springs.
- Highlights & must-sees
- Valles Caldera National Preserve: the collapsed crater of a volcano, around 20 kilometres across. From the turn-off on the NM-4 a gravel road leads to the visitor centre in the Valle Grande and to the Cabin District, backdrop to many westerns. Entry fee per vehicle, America the Beautiful Pass valid; hiking trails across the grassland are dangerously exposed during thunderstorms.
- Jemez Falls and Battleship Rock: short trail from Jemez Falls Campground to the highest waterfall in the Jemez Mountains; further down, Battleship Rock juts out of the canyon like the basalt bow of a ship, with a picnic area by the river.
- Soda Dam and Jemez Historic Site: at Soda Dam, mineral-rich spring water has built a natural dam across the Jemez River right beside the road. Just before it is Jemez Historic Site, with the ruins of Giusewa Pueblo and the 17th-century mission church of San José de los Jemez, cared for jointly with the Pueblo of Jemez; check opening days beforehand.
- CampingSpirit overnight tip
-
Official campsite or RV park: Santa Fe National Forest along the NM-4: Jemez Falls Campground (forest at around 2,400 metres, no hookups) and San Antonio Campground on San Antonio Creek near La Cueva; south of Jemez Springs, the lower-lying Vista Linda Campground by the river. Since 2026 Redondo Campground can be used by reservation only and has no drinking water. Reservations via recreation.gov; check lengths for each site and be aware of bear activity. With electricity: Fenton Lake State Park on the NM-126 north-west of La Cueva, sites in ponderosa forest by a small lake, reservations through New Mexico State Parks.
Free camping or nature tip (where legal): Sleeping in your vehicle is prohibited in Valles Caldera National Preserve. In the Santa Fe National Forest, dispersed camping is possible on forest roads open according to the Motor Vehicle Use Map, but it is heavily restricted in the Jemez National Recreation Area along the NM-4 and the rivers; follow the signs and check for closures during fire season.
- Insider tip for campers
- At night elk and deer stand on the NM-4 – drive slowly after dark. In Jemez Springs the village runs the historic Bath House with mineral water from the hot springs; a soak after the mountain stage does you good. You will feel the altitude of over 2,500 metres when hiking: drink plenty and take the first day easy.
4Stage 4: Jemez Springs to Chaco Culture National Historical Park (approx. 215 km)
- The drive
- Take the NM-4 through the red rocks of the Pueblo of Jemez to San Ysidro, then the four-lane US-550 (mostly 65 mph) north-west via Cuba to the CR 7900 turn-off south-east of Nageezi. Normally the north entrance road follows: around 13 kilometres of tarmac on CR 7900 and CR 7950, then 21 kilometres of washboard and clay track, the last 6 kilometres or so of which can become impassable when wet. Note: the north entrance road via CR 7950 is currently closed indefinitely after storm damage – check the latest status on nps.gov/chcu. The only access is then the south entrance road via NM-9 and NM-57 (around 34 kilometres of dirt track), which is not recommended for motorhomes. Plan B for motorhomes: skip Chaco and drive straight on from Cuba to Abiquiú (see stage 5). Pure driving time with the north entrance road open around 3.5 hours. Cuba is the last reliable place for fuel and groceries.
- Highlights & must-sees
- Pueblo Bonito: the largest of the great houses, built between about 850 and 1150, with more than 600 rooms, round kivas and walls of finely layered sandstone. A loop trail leads through rooms with original lintels; next door are Chetro Ketl with its great kiva, and Pueblo del Arroyo.
- Pueblo Alto Trail: the trail climbs through a crack in the rock onto the mesa north of the canyon, offering a view down onto Pueblo Bonito and remnants of the straight Chaco roads. Only go in settled weather – there is no lightning protection on the mesa.
- Casa Rinconada and Una Vida: the great free-standing kiva on the south side of the canyon, and an early great house with petroglyphs near the visitor centre. The canyon loop road is paved, and the gate is closed in the evening; Chaco is an International Dark Sky Park with night sky programmes in season.
- CampingSpirit overnight tip
-
Official campsite or RV park: Gallo Campground: the only campground in the park, in a small side canyon near the visitor centre at around 1,900 metres, no hookups, with drinking water, flush toilets and a dump station, no showers. Some sites are for motorhomes only, the rest for tents, motorhomes and trailers; vehicles over 35 ft (10.7 metres) will not fit. Some sites have been permanently closed since a rockfall in 2023. Reservations via recreation.gov (up to three months in advance) recommended; unreserved sites first come, first served. Generators only at set times in the morning, at midday and in the early evening; firewood is not sold and gathering it is prohibited.
Free camping or nature tip (where legal): In the park and on the surrounding land – a patchwork of Navajo Nation, Navajo family allotments, private and federal land – free camping is not allowed or the status cannot be clearly established; do not spend the night beside the track. If you skip Chaco or have to stay overnight in Cuba: east of Cuba on the NM-126 are the forest campgrounds Clear Creek and Rio de las Vacas, and in the surrounding Santa Fe National Forest dispersed camping is possible under the usual rules.
- Insider tip for campers
- Before setting off, be sure to check the road conditions with the park (505-786-7014) or on nps.gov/chcu, and do not follow your satnav – some tracks recommended by map services are unsafe or private. As long as the north entrance road is closed, motorhomes are better off driving straight on from Cuba to Abiquiú (stage 5 from Cuba). In rain the track turns as slippery as soap, towing takes a long time and there is no mobile signal. Take water and food for at least two days; lower your tyre pressure moderately for the washboard track and readjust it before the US-550.
5Stage 5: Chaco Culture National Historical Park to Abiquiú (approx. 225 km)
- The drive
- Back along the track to the US-550 and south-east to the NM-96 turn-off at La Jara, just before Cuba (a short detour to Cuba for fuel), then east on the NM-96: a lonely two-lane country road across the high plateau and through the villages of Regina, Gallina, Coyote and Youngsville, with open range (cattle on the road) and hardly any traffic. Beyond Coyote the flat summit of Cerro Pedernal comes into view, and the road drops through red sandstone to Abiquiu Lake and crosses the top of the dam before meeting the US-84. Pure driving time around 3.5 hours. Fuel only in Cuba and Abiquiú; no reliable supplies in between.
- Highlights & must-sees
- Chaco in the morning: the canyon is at its quietest shortly after sunrise, with Fajada Butte backlit and Pueblo Bonito free of visitors. In summer, leave before the afternoon thunderstorms so the track stays dry.
- Cerro Pedernal: the mesa that Georgia O’Keeffe called her “private mountain” and painted countless times accompanies the NM-96 for many kilometres – stop for photos at wide pull-outs by the roadside.
- Abiquiu Lake: reservoir on the Rio Chama between red and yellow cliffs; from the dam and the lakeside sites there is a wide view of the Pedernal, with alpenglow in the evening.
- CampingSpirit overnight tip
-
Official campsite or RV park: Riana Campground at Abiquiu Lake: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers campground on a rise above the lake, some sites with electricity and water, the rest without hookups, drinking water, showers, dump station; season roughly mid-April to mid-October, reservations via recreation.gov. The sites are open with no shade, but have a view across the water. An alternative with character: the Ghost Ranch campground north of the lake (private, part of the education centre); book ahead.
Free camping or nature tip (where legal): At Abiquiu Lake camping is permitted at designated sites only. In the forests to the north (Santa Fe and Carson National Forests), dispersed camping is possible, for instance along Forest Road 151 to the Rio Chama – a clay track that becomes impassable when wet. The land of the villages along the NM-96 is private or community land (land grants); do not stay overnight there.
- Insider tip for campers
- If you are at the lake for sunset: opening hours apply at the dam and the boat ramps, and gates are closed in the evening. In Abiquiú, on the US-84, is the long-established general store with a fuel station – stock up on water, food and fuel here. Avoid the NM-96 at night: free-roaming cattle and wildlife.
6Stage 6: Abiquiú to Ojo Caliente (approx. 110 km)
- The drive
- First take the US-84 around 25 kilometres north to Ghost Ranch and Echo Amphitheater, through a landscape of red, ochre and white bands of rock; then back through Abiquiú and south-east on the US-84 along the Rio Chama. Just before Española the US-285 branches off north and leads through a dry high valley to Ojo Caliente. Good two-lane roads with no difficulties; pure driving time around 2 hours.
- Highlights & must-sees
- Ghost Ranch: the land Georgia O’Keeffe painted, today an education and retreat centre of the Presbyterian Church. A day pass gives access to hiking trails to Chimney Rock and Kitchen Mesa and to a small museum on the dinosaur finds (Coelophysis) from the ranch’s quarry.
- Echo Amphitheater: semicircular rock wall marked with dark streaks in the Carson National Forest, short paved trail; the echo is astonishingly clear.
- Georgia O’Keeffe Home & Studio in Abiquiú: the adobe house where the painter lived until 1984; visits only on a Georgia O’Keeffe Museum guided tour and with a reservation, often booked out weeks in advance.
- CampingSpirit overnight tip
-
Official campsite or RV park: Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs: historic spa resort (since the 19th century) with its own pitches for motorhomes and tents, most with electricity and water; check prices with the resort and book ahead, bathing admission is usually extra. Public alternative: a second night at Riana Campground (stage 5) or the small El Rito Campground in the Carson National Forest north of El Rito, without hookups; check the length for each site beforehand.
Free camping or nature tip (where legal): At Echo Amphitheater the Forest Service runs a small campground without hookups; sleeping on the picnic area next to it is not allowed. In the Carson National Forest around El Rito and west of Ojo Caliente, dispersed camping is possible on open roads; in the Ojo Caliente valley itself the land is private.
- Insider tip for campers
- A morning is enough for Ghost Ranch and the O’Keeffe house if you book the early tour of the house. In the pools at Ojo Caliente the resort’s quiet rules apply; reserve bathing tickets in advance at weekends. From the spa a trail on BLM land leads up to the ruins of Posi-Ouinge, a pueblo of the ancestors of the Tewa – in the early morning, the finest walk of the day.
7Stage 7: Ojo Caliente to Santa Fe (approx. 85 km)
- The drive
- Take the US-285 south into the Rio Grande valley and through Española, then the four-lane US-84/285 across the lands of Pojoaque and Tesuque Pueblos back to Santa Fe. Pure driving time around 1.5 hours; full supplies in Española. The Santuario de Chimayó lies around 15 kilometres east of Española on the High Road to Taos, which is described in the guide to Taos and the Enchanted Circle.
- Highlights & must-sees
- Camel Rock: camel-shaped sandstone formation right beside the US-84/285 on land of the Pueblo of Tesuque, with a small car park for a photo stop.
- Santa Fe Plaza and Palace of the Governors: under the portal of the Governors’ Palace, artisans from the Pueblos and other Nations sell jewellery and pottery as part of a museum programme – buy directly from the makers and ask before taking photos. Add to that San Miguel Chapel, the galleries on Canyon Road and, on Saturdays, the farmers’ market at the Railyard.
- Museum Hill: Museum of Indian Arts and Culture and Museum of International Folk Art, a good way to round off your visits to Bandelier and Chaco.
- CampingSpirit overnight tip
-
Official campsite or RV park: For the last night, Hyde Memorial State Park or Black Canyon Campground (see stage 1). With a large vehicle and if you want electricity: Tetilla Peak Recreation Area at Cochiti Lake (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers), around 50 kilometres south-west of Santa Fe, sites with electricity and water, shower block and dump station, open seasonally, reservations only via recreation.gov – handy for the drive back to Albuquerque.
Free camping or nature tip (where legal): In Santa Fe, sleeping in your vehicle on streets and in public car parks is not permitted and is enforced. On Pueblo land along the US-84/285 any overnight stay is prohibited, including in casino or shop car parks without express permission.
- Insider tip for campers
- The old town has narrow one-way streets and multi-storey car parks with height restrictions. Park large vehicles on the outskirts and continue by bike or city bus; between Santa Fe and Albuquerque there is also the New Mexico Rail Runner Express commuter train to the Railyard. Top up propane and water on Cerrillos Road before returning the vehicle or moving on.
Camping practice & local rules
Wild camping & overnight parking
- Dispersed camping is allowed in the Santa Fe and Carson National Forests on roads open according to the Motor Vehicle Use Map, usually for up to 14 days in one place, outside closed recreation areas and river corridors. Similar rules apply on BLM land. In dry spells the forests impose fire restriction stages up to complete closure; free camping is then prohibited too – check the status before every night.
- Pueblo land and the Navajo Nation are sovereign territory: overnight stays, off-road driving and hiking without permission are prohibited. State trust land is not freely usable public land; camping there is not permitted without a permit.
- Cities such as Albuquerque and Santa Fe do not tolerate sleeping in vehicles on the street; supermarket and department store car parks only with the express permission of the store. Rest areas are for breaks; observe signs on maximum parking time.
- Reservations: NPS, Forest Service and Corps of Engineers sites (Juniper, Gallo, Jemez, Riana, Tetilla Peak) via recreation.gov; state parks (Hyde Memorial, Fenton Lake) through the New Mexico State Parks reservation system. Book early in summer and for the Balloon Fiesta in October.
- Federal lands: since 2026, visitors to US national parks without US residency have in some cases paid higher fees and surcharges; check current amounts on nps.gov. The America the Beautiful Pass is valid at Bandelier, Valles Caldera, Chaco and at Forest Service fee sites.
- Apps: iOverlander, Campendium, The Dyrt and Recreation.gov; Park4Night is hardly used. For forest roads, download the official Motor Vehicle Use Maps (also available as offline maps in the Avenza app) – there is largely no mobile signal at Chaco, in the Jemez valley and along the NM-96.
Waste disposal & supplies
- Dump stations: Juniper Campground in Bandelier (seasonal), Gallo Campground at Chaco, Riana and Tetilla Peak, most state parks and private RV parks in Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Española. The basic forest sites in the Jemez have none.
- Drinking water: at Chaco at the visitor centre and at Gallo Campground; Redondo and many small forest sites have no water. Fill the tanks before Chaco and before the Jemez Mountains; in autumn and spring pipes freeze at night and the water may then be turned off.
- Empty grey water and chemical toilets only at dump stations. In arid areas and at archaeological sites, any discharge is strictly prohibited.
- Propane: fuel stations, DIY stores and RV parks in Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Española fill US cylinders; European cylinders are generally not refilled. At high altitude stoves and heaters burn less efficiently – allow for more gas.
- Fuel and groceries: full supplies in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Los Alamos, Española; after that Cuba (last reliable stop before Chaco) and Abiquiú. Because of the thin air, engines use more fuel on climbs; do not let the tank drop below a quarter.
- Electricity: hookups only at state park sites, at Riana, Tetilla Peak and private sites. The NPS and forest sites have no electricity; solar works superbly in New Mexico, generators only during the permitted hours at each site.
Vehicle size & traffic rules
- Speed limits: interstates in rural areas up to 75 mph, four-lane US highways such as the US-550 and US-84/285 mostly 55–65 mph, country roads mostly 55 mph; there are no generally lower limits for motorhomes and towing combinations, so follow the signs. No toll roads on the route.
- Drink-driving is strictly prosecuted in New Mexico; open containers in the passenger compartment are prohibited. On Pueblo land and in the Navajo Nation, alcohol and drugs are prohibited altogether. Texting while driving is prohibited; some cities also ban phone calls without a hands-free system – follow the signs.
- Pueblo visitor etiquette: each Pueblo is a nation of its own with its own rules. Photography, filming, sketching and sound recording are often prohibited or allowed only with permission and a fee, and never at dances and ceremonies. Drones are taboo. Do not enter kivas, cemeteries or homes, do not applaud at dances and do not block spectator areas. Villages may close to visitors at short notice for ceremonies – respect the signs and turn back. Buy arts and crafts directly from the makers.
- Archaeological sites: at Bandelier, Chaco and Jemez Historic Site, do not climb or sit on walls, do not pick up potsherds and do not touch rock art. The Archaeological Resources Protection Act provides for heavy penalties.
- Altitude: most of the route lies between 1,600 and 2,700 metres. Headaches and shortness of breath are common on the first day; drink plenty and cut back on alcohol. Temperatures drop sharply at night even in summer, and below freezing in spring and autumn; from November, snow can make the NM-4 and the road to Hyde Memorial difficult.
- Monsoon: from about July to mid-September, thunderstorms with lightning, hail and heavy rain build almost daily from midday. Leave exposed ridges, mesas and the grasslands of the Valles Caldera by early afternoon, never park or camp in arroyos (flash floods), and do not drive through flooded fords. Clay tracks such as the road to Chaco become impassable after rain.
- Wildfire: May and June are the most dangerous time; open fires are then usually prohibited and forests may be closed. Smoke can close roads – follow updates from New Mexico Roads (nmroads.com) and the Forest Service.
- Emergency: 911. Mobile coverage is good in Albuquerque, Santa Fe and along the US-550, patchy or non-existent at Chaco, in the Jemez valley and along the NM-96.
CampingSpirit packing & preparation checklist
- Extra water containers (at least 40 litres): there are no supplies at Chaco or at many forest sites, and the dry high-altitude air increases consumption.
- Tyre pressure gauge and compressor: lower the pressure for the washboard and clay track to Chaco and set it correctly again afterwards for the paved roads.
- Warm sleeping bag or reliable parking heater: at 2,500 metres at Hyde Memorial and in the Jemez there are nights close to freezing even in late summer.
- Weather app with National Weather Service lightning and severe weather alerts, plus a satellite messenger: in the monsoon minutes count, and there is no signal at Chaco.
- High-factor sun protection, sun hat and lip balm: UV radiation is considerably stronger at this altitude, and the air is extremely dry.
- Head torch with red light: for the night sky programmes and nights in the Chaco Dark Sky Park, without dazzling fellow campers.
As of 2026-10. Closures, fees and booking rules change: check official sources before you go.
