    Tips

    July 18, 2025

    The beautiful San Lorenzo Canyon Recreation Area, northwest of Socorro, is a fantastic spot, with sandstone cliffs, natural arches, and unique hoodoos, with several hiking trails, perfect for taking some memorable photos and exploring the slot canyons. Primitive camping is allowed throughout the area, with dispersed sites hidden away in quiet corners of the canyon. There are no facilities or water sources, so be prepared if you're planning to you pitch your tent under the stars here. This remote setting provides a peaceful atmosphere, breathtaking views, and a true off-the-grid experience.
