We are from Alabama but moved to West Virginia in 2021. We attended Auburn University and the Auburn battle cry is “ War Eagle!” When I saw this Colorado property on War Eagle Trail, I bought it immediately. We visit occasionally and plan to build a cabin there. Until then, or even after, you can enjoy the views I long for. Enjoy Life! - Cheap Trekking! Getting there: Map: https://maps.app.goo.gl/2yjMa1Z9bXJpkDWc9 GPS: 37.064665,-105.651001 or 37°03'52.8"N 105°39'03.6"W When you arrive: No driveway. No ditch. Just jump the dirt curb. Property is flat so pitch your tent, setup your camper or RV. The ground is undeveloped but hard. No gravel so 4WD is always best, 2WD is ok but be aware if it rains it might get muddy. Park at your own risk. Description: 5 flat acres of beauty and fun in every direction. POINTS OF INTEREST and TOURS: * Scenic Railroad trips in Antonito (22 miles) and Alamosa (60 miles). https://maps.app.goo.gl/hggrWDZkyZUkrY1U9 https://maps.app.goo.gl/rHMmH5GMDBbCxSSF7 * Cano's Castle https://goo.gl/maps/kSTwqf96Uapr64qr8 * Shrine of the Stations of the Cross https://goo.gl/maps/7hhLdSK4VHDyF42i9 * San Luis State Wildlife Area 16399 Lane 6 N, Mosca, CO 81146 https://goo.gl/maps/V3C2KLaoCdBbaUuV7 * Blanca Peak, Colorado 81040 https://goo.gl/maps/CAUAXah9xuFE9jFo6 * Monte Vista National Wildlife Refuge 6120 CO-15, Monte Vista, CO 81144 https://goo.gl/maps/B7toqF9uYGG88Ji59 * Rio Grande Gorge Bridge, New Mexico 87529 https://goo.gl/maps/WBtWY8beJhBvVDTF9 * Great Sand Dunes National Park (61 miles or 65 minutes). https://maps.app.goo.gl/Eu85tMQunxPYWgW99 * Zapata Falls trailhead (50 miles or 63 minutes). https://maps.app.goo.gl/81JRgXSPXxLcm61HA LOCAL BREWERIES: * San Luis Valley Brewery https://maps.app.goo.gl/i18bccthke6scu8D7 * Three Barrel Brewing Co. https://maps.app.goo.gl/ic4tqB5uwMTqft177 * The Colorado Farm Brewery https://maps.app.goo.gl/7jF1Jn8jg88nekKk6 ADVENTURE ACTIVITIES: * Snow Ski and Summer fun - Red River, NM (49 miles or 58 minutes). https://www.redriverskiarea.com/ * Snow Ski - Taos, NM (65 miles or 81 minutes). https://www.skitaos.com/ *Snow Ski and Summer fun - Angel Fire (74 miles or 90 minutes) https://www.angelfireresort.com/ * Great Sand Dunes National Park (61 miles or 65 minutes). https://maps.app.goo.gl/Eu85tMQunxPYWgW99 * Vehicle Rentals Snowmobile, Slingshot or RZR (50 miles or 50 minutes). https://www.weezieswildrides.com/ * Whitewater, Rio Grande River - Self guide Kayak launch (72 miles or 86 min). https://maps.app.goo.gl/LTA2H5D2kX2mJ8cY7 Outfitter - https://farflung.com/ * Whitewater, Arkansas River (139 miles 2hr 21min). https://maps.app.goo.gl/ChqWKx58EEvFkk7NA Outfitter - https://www.salidariveradventures.com/ * Hike to Zapata Falls trailhead (50 miles or 63 minutes). https://maps.app.goo.gl/81JRgXSPXxLcm61HA * Mountain Master Off-Road Tours https://maps.app.goo.gl/wpFJT6MXMKdYMp6Z9GPS: 37.064665,-105.651001 or 37°03'52.8"N 105°39'03.6"W Stay on 5 square acres on War Eagle Trail Road. Beauty and fun in every direction.  Get there via flat county maintained dirt roads. No driveway. No ditch. Just jump the dirt curb. The ground is undeveloped but hard.

Once you get to the spot, face south and you are looking at the property. You can see Ute mountain in New Mexico in the distance. FYI listed as not wheel chair accessible. However, the property is very flat and amazing people do amazing things in wheel chairs.

Peace & Stars - War Eagle!
Solid place to stay. Would stay longer if was in the area more, exactly as advertised. Take the road in from the east, there is a wash to the west that could be wet/sticky if not prepared.

REMOTE CAMPING
I have a Class B+ RV and it was about a 10 mile dirt road to this site. That being said, the dirt roads are very well maintained and I did not need 4x4 to get here. Be warned, there are working farm dogs that roam the area but did not come close to me or my rig. The plot of land is covered in high bushes and ouchy weeds so I don't know how you would tent camp here but was fine in a vehicle.
