Camping Along the East Side of Highway 67

Conditions along these roads are firm packed dirt suitable for any vehicle, however the further you go down these roads the conditions get bumpy with places were water pools from rains. It’s best to always take 4WD vehicle because there are very few places to turn around.

While there are miles of roads with dispersed camping, previously-used campsites are few and far between along the north side of the Canyon. You may find yourself driving for several miles before you find an open site. But if you manage to get into one, you’ll encounter a lot more peace and quiet along the north side of the canyon.

Wildlife up here is more elusive just because there are fewer campers throwing food at them. But they are still everywhere if you’re patient enough.
