USFS #87…pick it up near Cumbres/Hwy 17 and it rolls mostly east to Hwy 285 with forks here and there.

Costilla River trail: Not sure how much of this is open to motorized traffic; pick this trail, starts as an asphalt road, near Amailia on Hwy 196 just off of Hwy 522 north of Questa. Trail opens July 1…

I may add to this list as I come up with more list. Hopefully the thread won't get derailed too much

Love goose lake... can't get my travel trailer up there. :-(

Guess you're tenting it

5 kids, all five years or younger... i'll send them to your Kamparoo.

Seriously though... maybe I can camp close-by and meet up for day run?

Goose Lake is a place I've been wanting to get to. From what I hear the trail isn't too bad. I should be able to scrape my way up there I think.

Goose lake will have a high volume of traffic. I would stay at one of the forest campgrounds below Red River and make goose lake a day trip. There are some great trails in the area that will take you to the clouds.

Ok, thanks for the heads up.

This sounds like a great idea. I've wanted to run 4th of July canyon too...

Mills Canyon camping last weekend - Done.

This is a neat part of NE New Mexico that's worth checking out. The Mills Canyon CG is right on the Canadian River so few folks from TX met us there.

More pics are here on Expo

I went to Mills Canyon many years ago with Nylia. I don't remember a campground. We just stayed in the canyon.
