Site is in the deep interior of the park located on the 4x4 Rancherias Trail at the entrance to a canyon. Rancherias #1 lies on the eastern side of a hill. Site is protected on all sides. The nearby flood plain leads to two canyons to the north and east that provide excellent opportunities for day hikes. The area is frequented by wild burros. Their tracks are everywhere. To the west are rock formations with canyons suitable for day hikes. The picnic table and fire ring are set up against a high bluff, among boulders. Sunrises and sunsets should be dramatic.
Access - 4-Wheel Drive High Clearance.
