Approximate location — plotted from published sources, not a site visit, and not a guarantee of access.
Large USFS campground in ponderosa forest on the Valle Vidal Unit of Carson National Forest, opposite the historic Ring Place Ranch. Base for viewing one of New Mexico’s largest elk herds, Rio Grande cutthroat special-regulation trout water on McCrystal Creek, and open-country wildlife across the Valle Vidal — a distinct eastern Valle Vidal visitor pin from Shuree Ponds.
