Tucked away against a north - south ridgeline is the Chorro Vista Campsite. Located on a sloping surface near several deep canyons there is an unlimited view of the western and southern skies. Chorro Vista is found in a transitional ecotone environment where a variety of plant and animal communities exist. Nearby canyons, springs, mesas and vegetation offer photography galore. Sunrises and sunsets are awesome at this campsite.
