Boys camping at Ortega West Saddle

(happened Apr 7, 2018, writing this Jan 17, 2022)

Ortega West is a bouldering area in the Carson NF that some friends of mine developed. I don’t climb much these days, but the parking spot makes for a great, remote camping spot anyway. I took the boys up there by myself for a getaway. It was muddy, which makes the roads up there ridiculously slippery, but it worked out okay for us.

Matt Holmes

We’re a homeschooling family in Los Alamos, New Mexico, hoping to give our boys a love for the great outdoors and provide them with skills they’ll enjoy for life. When it comes to camping, we are experts at getting off the beaten path, away from crowded campgrounds.  And adventuring to us can be as simple as checking out a local park or as ambitious as hiking a Colorado 14’er.
