Notes
The Bisti Badlands (Bisti/De-Na-Zin Wilderness) isn't in a city but is located in northwestern New Mexico, about 40 miles south of the city of Farmington, New Mexico, accessible via State Highway 371 and a gravel road. It's a remote, undeveloped wilderness area known for unique hoodoos and petrified wood. There is no designated camping site and you'll need to put up some sort of horse containment. The ground is too hard to drive in hot wire posts.
