Today we visited the
Angel Peak Scenic Area just outside of Bloomfield, NM. A part of the
San Juan Basin Badlands, Angel Peak is almost 7,000 feet above sea level. A lot people think it isn't as "cool" as the Bisti Wilderness Area because it doesn't have as many hoodoos, we would disagree. The landscape was very similar to South Dakota Badlands which we loved.
From Farmington, we drove 27 miles to the turn-off. We turned east onto the signed "Angel Peak Scenic Area" road and drove to the campground. From the campground we took off hiking and made our way all the way to the bottom floor of the Badlands. Check out some pics:
