    Tips

    November 12, 2025

    This quiet forest road follows the Rio Chiquito westward through Carson National Forest, offering a peaceful walk beside the creek and shaded stretches of pine. If you are heading north towards Taos, this section, near the Drake Canyon Loop, is the last reliable water source before a long dry stretch toward El Nogal. Several flat spots near the creek provide good opportunities for camping, especially across the water where it’s quieter and more secluded.
