Description
iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
Canyons of the Ancients off MC BB. Great site a few hundred metres from Anasazi ruins. Fire ring, flat spot, great view. Very quiet, a few visitors were at the ruins during the day but all left before 18:00. From Cortez, drive north on 491, turn left at MC BB (MC roads are named A B C D, etc. BB comes after Z, then AA). Drive 6 miles on BB, turn left on 10. Drive for 11.3 miles then turn left into BLM 4531, a high clearance dirt road for about a mile, then you get to a small parking area. The camp site is just past the parking lot on BLM 4531. A few miles further is the Cutthroat ruins. Breathtaking! The road there is very rough and requires a high clearance 4x4.

Report Check-InStayed just up the road from this location at 37.45196, -108.97269. Although it is probably recommend to have a 4WD to get up this road, we made it in our 2WD hightop Ford Transit. The road does get very rough if you keep going past where we camped. The ruins are great, as well as the view.
Report Check-InRight on the Canyon. level spot. Should be a great sunrise but I will probably miss it.
