Great day use and overnight camping spot. Gets crowded after lunchtime. The hike up to the caves, trail 288, is well worth it and doable with kids. Roughly a 5.5 mile hike with little elevation gain. Caves located roughly at 35.85, -105.68958.

It's hard to find a bad camping spot here, either near the trail head or off the trail (look for signs stating how close to the river you can camp if you're backcountry camping). The views are some of the best (go find the caves!!!! About a 4.5 miles roundtrip hike up Panchuela). Explore this area. You won't regret it. Gas up/grocery in Santa Fe and be prepared to have zero reception while you're up here. And don't leave any trash behind!

An excellent trailhead with a campground (tents only). Lots of tall trees, mossy rocks and a gurgly stream. A wonderful place to hike!

How far a hike from parking to caves

It is about 6.5 miles round-trip with 1200 ft of climbing. Figure at least a couple of hours if you are in great shape.
