We tried to drive to the top of Mt Taylor, (about a half hour drive to the base) but we made it to about 9500 feet before the accumulated snow stopped us. We hiked El Calderon, which was a very pretty hike. Lots of pine trees - I wouldn't say the cone is spectacular, but a pretty 3 mile hike. Not too far from the campground is the Sandstone Bluff, which was...

It's a bit of a haul back into town, but we headed into Tucumcari and had a great lunch at Las Chaparritas. We also took the drive up to Las Vegas (NM) and visited the City of Las Vegas Museum and Rough Rider Collection. A cute little free museum (please donate) where you can learn the town history.

No cell service in the canyon, but you can drive back up near check-in and you might get lucky. There is a very fine dust on the ground, so know it's gonna end up on your dog and in your camper.
There is a camp store that serves food and ice-cream. Husband thought the burger was OK.

Went to the National Rt 66 museum. The entrance price was reasonable $8 for 2 seniors. And the ladies there very nice. Some beautiful old cars arranged in scenic, muraled views. But lots of "stuff" kinda packed together in displays to the point that the significance of it gets lost.

We thoroughly enjoyed the Will Rogers Memorial Museum, about 40 minutes away.
