Gee-my first post in cruise. Can't wait for last frost (around May), so I can revisit and have a party.

I've only been there twice, since I'm from Santa Fe, but someone seems to be around most of the time. I saw this to be true and locals say its so. If you plan on parking in the rocks, better pay the $3 at entrance(park site) or go in to park and if some traffic is there then go back and pay. Nice place. Wish there was a place like that in Santa Fe area
