Once we got parked and settled it is a really nice site. Our site backs up to the Rio Chama River – what a great view out our back window! The tracks for the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad are in the trees on the other side of the river.                   We also can see this from the door of the 5th wheel   Yes, that is one of the two bear traps in the park – they c...
