USFS Headquarters Well Trailhead

BLM camping in a desert setting. Lots of vehicles, but it never felt crowded. We were there twice this trip, a week apart. Both times it was dry, dusty and windy (as you'd expect). It's easy to get in, feels reasonably safe, no weird people encounters, no stray dogs or night critters. Easy enough access to Santa Fe. One tip - I'd avoid going west on the 'frontage road' when leaving unless you have good ground clearance. And if you do go that way, there's a dead end sign at the 'end'. Just follow all the other cars heading into the gravel operation, and it'll come out the other side of the wash :)

Places off the grid in it's wide open plenty of room to play plenty of room for dogs there's other people here but they're a good distance away so you have your privacy and it feels safe so far people like to play with the dune buggies,motorcycles, dog. Privacy is good out here and I feel safe so far

Real decent spot to boondock for free outside Santa Fe! Vault toilets werent bad, and we had ATT cell service the whole time. Just be wary of the agressive stray dogs and people that roam around.

We used this trailhead in the off-season so there were plenty of spots. Easy access for large trailers and motorhomes.

Verizon - download 58.9 mbps, upload 7.29 mbps AT&T - download 31.6 mbps, upload 2.31 mbps We were both able to be on webinars/video calls during the day. Plenty of spots and space! We went to the left (as previous reviewers suggested) and it was fine. 20 minutes into the city and FREE… can’t beat it!
