The conservation area we are boondocking at has a few ride options for gravel bikes. We’ve ridden and camped here before and always love the piece and quiet. The rides aren’t super exciting, but the desert grassland scenery with mountains surrounding is calming.
Las Cienegas, which means marshlands, is a 45,000 acre Congress designated Conservation Area. It’s fairly primitive with no organized campgrounds, just places here and there throughout the property to primitive camp. The area is a birding hotspot and we had a pair of vermilion flycatchers each day, which some refer to as good luck birds. Cattle graze all around here and several babies frequent our camping area. They’re pretty cute to watch. Hey, this is slow living.
