Very beautiful and scenic trail. The first .6 miles is very strenuous but gets easier after the initial incline. I hiked 2.5 miles out to an old homesite then turned around. The most difficult part of the trail is after this spot.

This was a nice place to camp. Clean campsite and bathrooms, nice rangers and visitor center. Had a nice hiking train. Plus within driving distance of Cloudcroft and the Space Museum. We had a really fun time with our family and friends.

A long hike up an unforgivingly hot trail. Not for everyone over 14. Bring extra water, wear light clothing and a big hat, even in the winter.

Definitely not for kids. The trails are to steep for kids and the drop offs are quite intimidating. Otherwise, good scenery.

I drove out to the park to see what it had to offer. Considering that it is right next to Lincoln Forest, why would I PAY to go in here and then do a hike up the barren desert mountain? ANSWER: I didn't! I left. I hiked in the beautiful Lincoln Forest several times instead. It's beautiful, has dozens of different hiking paths and roads, and it's FREE. Go there instead, it's right above. They also have many campgrounds.

We camped there for 3 days in a tent for only $10 a day. There was also no entrance fee for the campers so we could visit the interpretative center for free and walk the trails for free.My husband walked both trails and it was really beautiful (see the pictures), especially the long one in Dog Canyon which penetrates into Lincoln National Forest. You can see wonderful nature, cacti in bloom and beautiful birds. But be careful, as it is montain lion country and there are also black bears in Lincoln National Forest in the Sacramento Mountains. But don't get me wrong, you won't find black bears in the camping area, you'll find them only very far away in the trails high in the montains.The interpretative center is very interesting and the volunteers are really nice. You get to learn about the history, American Indian People, a Frenchman who lived on site, the nature, animals, etc. You can also have a guided historical tour on week-ends and it is included in the entrance fee (and free if you are camping). The restrooms and showers were very clean and you had plenty of hot water. However, there is very little shade on site as you have no trees really, only cacti and they're not high enough to provide shade. You have a roof over the picnic table on some sites (but not on the one we had for a tent) which can provide shade. What is also a bit of a shame is that you cannot buy any drinks, snacks or bags of ice on site. So, remember to bring your own stuff, especially the bottles of water that you'll really need in this extremely dry area.

They found me a shady ramada for the tent so I could sack in before dusk, which also sheltered against the unseasonable high winds which came up later that night. Showers were great, everything clean and the trash policed to perfection. Quiet stay, and the host (John) was knowledgeable and helpful. State of NM takes better care of its campgrounds than most commercial properties.

Great spot for the serious hiker in you. Quad-burning initial half mile of the path will have you wondering about your choices in life. After that it's an easy incline for the next mile. Alpine meadows and phenomenal views of the area mountains and the Tularosa Basin. Lots of wildlife, flowers and native plants and birds. The gutsy folks can try to complete the entire trail up to Cloudcroft. There is a much easier nature trail below the main trail.Park center has friendly staff and exhibits regarding local history and geology. Canyon is site of old Apache village. $5 parking fee. Unforgettable spot to experience beautiful New Mexico in its fullest.

Beautiful views of the valley below. Electrical hook ups available and very nice comfort stations conveniently located.

Just discovered an iasis in the desert this summer even though we've been here many times. If you hike the trail along the north side of the building, you will find it too. It's beautiful! You can camp out here too. And it's a great place for sunsets! And we all know New Mexico has some of the most amazing ones.
