Northwestern New Mexico

Travel Guide

Visible from the parking lot a short walk will get you this closer vantage point.

The Bisti Badlands in New Mexico are a place that seems to be out of this world. 

Stunning landscapes and stone formations everywhere. 
Only problem: It is in the middle of nowhere and you have to hike quite a little bit. There are no marked trails though. A GPS device is highly recommended.

This strange formation is known as the King of Wings. Its location has been a well kept secret for a long time and is still hard to find. I want to keep it that way and will not provide the GPS coordinates of this gem. 
It is located somewhere in the Ah Shi Sle Pah. 

This photo was taken a couple minutes after sunset.

Amazing cultural history of our past inhabitants in the Southwest.

8.4/10 Very Good! (1,085 reviews)
The room was very dated, beds are sagging in the middle and the crawling bugs took away from a restful night. Other than that the front desk people were very nice and helpful. Breakfast was good and plentiful.
