A state park we visited for the day in New Mexico during our stay at Rockhound State Park…read more It has full hookup sites as well as a day use area. It is on the site of an area where several million years ago, a volcanic eruption threw numerous large boulders on to the landscape. The park has driving areas and hiking trails around and between these boulders. We spent several hours waking through and had lunch in the park at the picnic area. We had a good time exploring the park and recommend a visit if you're in the area.

Great little park. The visitor's center is interesting and the city of rocks itself is a really…read morefun place for kids and adults alike to hike, climb and explore. In between the rocks are plenty of oak trees and shady spots where you can get out of the sun. There are plenty of beautiful views as well. I can tell it'll also have good dark sky viewing but didn't get to that on my visit.

Everyone at the ranch was very accommodating, the food was excellent and our cabin was nice and cozy. The scenery was beautiful and Maris and Seth explained the history.

Also camped at Bonita Campground. When I visited, they have a shuttle on Saturdays and Sundays (~9am departure) to so you can do a point to point (one way) decline hike back to your car. Rangers very friendly!

I've been here twice and each time I have visited, it is mesmerizing and I don't want to leave!…read more This place is famous for their hoodoos and amazing rock formations that will leave you speechless and in awe! And while this place is a national monument, one thing our government could do instead of all the other nonsense going on is to upgrade this place to a national park. We stopped in here after spending time at Kartchner Caverns and today the scenic drive beyond the campground was closed because of the rain and snow that came down steadily last night. And because of this and due to the amount of time we had, we did a shorter walk along the Silver Spur Meadow. This trail is very easy, well shaded and what a beautiful place to view birds! I think may have seen 15 or more species in just the short walk we did here today. I was also here about 2 years ago and did the Echo Canyon Trail to the Grotto and that was such a lovely easy hike with all sorts of cool rock formations and I enjoyed climbing around. Id like to come back and do a more strenuous hike and when I get a chance, will come back and do the Heart of the Rocks trail! Visitor center is very cool with a really nice gift shop, museum, bathrooms and very informative rangers. Parking lot can be a bit tight but more parking available down the road. I was able to get a fun stuffed sandhill crane! I could spend a lot more time here and just love this place! Great place to get a dose of nature and love how the air feels at close to 5500 feet!

When the city took it over, they turned much of it into a modern amphitheater and included a mile-long walking trail (woo hoo!) and added a small gated area with several dinosaurs. Lots of parking, some picnic shelters and a nice view of the "lake" that filled in the gravel pit. [Review 17483 overall - 92 in New Mexico - 1001 of 2022.]

If I had to describe this place in one word, I would say 'sanctuary.'…read more The Catwalk Recreation Area is a compact gem of stupendous beauty. I'd say it's one of the can't miss locations among the many in this state. Although I had seen some photos and videos, they didn't prepare me for the overwhelming experience. It's a canyoned, slot canyoned, nature trailed, tree-lined, water featured, and wildlife wonder courtesy of a built-for-the-ages metal catwalk that floats through much of it as you are suspended between ground and sky. I've seen so many places of natural beauty that I don't get as impressed or as thrilled as I did when I was younger. However, here, I can't think of enough superlatives to say how amazed I was. This place can easily fill with people on nice weekend days. I chose a cold weekday morning and I had the place to myself for a few hours. I considered that time an honor as I walked the catwalk gazing up to the cliff faces and sky while listening to the subdued roar of the water passing by below. I took time to descend from the catwalk and sit at a few places at the water's edge. I hike and camp and bicycle and, while they offer exercise and joy, the Catwalk Recreation Area seems to have its own built-in stress relief feature. This is such an embracing and calming place that can lift you up and say don't lose sight of all the good things in the world.

The Catwalk is so beautiful…read more The boardwalk itself is higher above the water than I anticipated and much shorter in distance than I expected. Regardless the feeling entering the canyon after the catwalk is almost surreal the rocks seem as if they just fell minutes before arriving. Almost like stepping in the Flintstones cartoon. I suggest going here, bring lots of water and snacks and wear a hat plus sunscreen the sun is very direct and hot. Not much shade until you get up the river a ways. I would say I think smaller dogs paws would not be comfortable on the catwalks metal grating but large dogs seemed very comfortable walking on it.

Every step in nature brings a new discovery…read more I am not a seasoned hiker nor do I hanker after difficult trails. I simply wanted to be with nature, so I planned out this hike a day before. Thompson Trail 629, located in Greer, Arizona, was at the top of my list. I have been to Greer many times, but I had never reached nor explored that area before. The drive to the trailhead is long and bumpy on the dirt road, yet it is scenic and tranquil. Once you reach the destination, you will be welcomed with picturesque views of the surrounding mountains, rolling meadows, and forests. The hike is approximately 6 miles out and back, making it a moderate and enjoyable trek. During the hike, you'll be immersed in the beauty of the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests, with the trail winding through towering Ponderosa pines. Be prepared with water, snacks, and proper hiking gear. The trail is well-maintained but can be rocky and steep in some sections, so sturdy hiking shoes are recommended. One of the things I enjoyed most was that the path leads through picturesque meadows and alongside babbling creeks. I couldn't help but stop, reconnect with nature, enjoy the solitude and capture the beauty with my camera lenses. I am truly appreciating more the majestic landscapes of the White Mountains and the many breathtaking scenes you will discover, providing opportunities to pause and refresh your soul. If you're seeking an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, Thompson Trail offers a serene environment for you.
