    Lybrook Badlands - New Mexico

    What to do if you have little time : The journey to get there can be long, so if you have little time you won't go to Ah Shi Sle Pah. 

    Very remote place, very little known, with varied rock formations, accessible only by tracks. The place is quite extensive and you always have the impression of missing something. These badlands are so little known that there is really little information on the internet. A hiking GPS, to mark some points gleaned on the internet or to find your vehicle, can be useful.

    From the car park, walk back on the track for 650 feet and then turn west. After 1600 feet of walking, you will see the first hoodoos. Then you are free to wander among the rock formations. For our part, we had a walk of about 1,9 miles round trip.

     

    Access : from Bloomfield, take US550 south towards Chaco Canyon. After 41 miles, turn right on the CR7900 for 5,2 miles and take the left track (GPS : N36°10'21.8'' W107°40'36.9''). This track is just after the CR7950 which leads to Chaco Canyon. Drive on this track for 3,9 miles and turn left (GPS: N36°10'41.6'' W107°36'24.8'') on a new track to a derrick at the end of the track (GPS: N36°12'29.3" W107°36'16.0").

    Once the site  found, don't hesitate to explore these badlands. It's hard to say how many hiking miles you can do because as you approach a formation you see another one in the distance, and another one again ...

    Lodging

    It's quite hard to find a campground in Farmington. So you need to go to Bloomfield to find one. We have tested :

    • Desert Rose Resort - Bloomfield : not very shaded campground, quite noisy but well equipped : pool, spa, laundries, wifi. 30$ per site in september 2014.

    • Rodeway Inn - Farmington : classic but old fashioned hotel. Breakfast included. 69$ per room for 4 in september 2017.
