Yaqui Pass Camp

This area is a big dirt lot about the size of a football field. Its really easy to pull in here and find a spot, there were only 2 of us here the night we stayed. There is a short hiking trail located at the back of the lot which can get busy during the day. We moved to this area from Blair Valley because we wanted to be closer to Galleta Meadows and The Slot hike, unfortunately the cell signal here was barely workable, even when boosted. There are no amenities here.

We were going to camp at Yaqui Wash but the road was too soft for a vehicle with no 4x4. The attendant at the pay campground nearby told us to try this one. This is basically just a giant parking lot but it was flat and had great sunset views! There is a little trail that looks out over highway 78 in the valley that is spectacular! We were the only people the whole night. Only a few vehicles past by throughout the night. Would have been nice if there was a pit toilet at the trailhead, but in the morning the pay campground attendant let us use the facilities there as there was no one there.
