First post for N.I.O.T.G. > go to the menu above for fuller explanation. We followed Cochiti Lake Hwy. until we couldn’t. Turned around and found the dirt road in the video. Drove 17 miles up to 10,000′ and over to Valle Caldera through Bandolier Wilderness. Wow!
No entrance?
We’ll see about that!
Look closely…we will get through next time.
