Love it! Did you need a GPS to find it?
twoeightnine OP t1_j9g2u8p wrote
I kinda mentioned it in my Instagram post without giving away too much. You won't be able to find it easily without GPS and it helps to have a live overhead aerial map to make sure you're on the right track. It's easy to pick the wrong one and bottom out.

Yeah, wasn't very helpful. I'm going out there in April, may just stick to hiking in Bisti and seeing the cracked eggs rather than the throne.
twoeightnine OP t1_j9g3zgg wrote
I probably wouldn't attempt to get there in April. Any bit of mud or wet ground and you're getting stuck out there.
Bisti is good most of the way but if it's wet there is one sketchy spot on the road and walking will be miserable. It's one giant waterless swamp.

I'm aware, but that's the time I can go. So I'll assess and if it looks bad, we have a contingency.

Yeah this, even if you make it down the road, you might be walking in glue in April. I’m in durango and we’ve got a ton of snow, with more on the way. March is typically very wet. What happens up here happens to a lesser extent down there and it probably won’t dry out until mid summer.

Is anyone interested in going there this summer? We tried some hiking in the Bisti, in very early June, and it was still too windy. Great pic of the Alien Throne!
