Since you're heading into New Mexico definitely plan a stop at Pagosa Springs and take a morning to do some soaking. It in a beautiful setting overlooking the river. There are many small pools of varying temperatures. Folks move from one to another. The place is immaculate and has showers and lockers. It has nice patio areas around the pools so you can bring a cooler with lunch, snacks or drinks. They also sell light meals at the patio. We absolutely love stopping there.

We stay at North Fork campground in the San Juan national forest. There are others in the area. Explore this site for good information on forest service campgrounds in every state. We love them. If you have a senior pass they are 1/2 price.

From Pagosa take Hwy 84 south into New Mexico. Abiquiu Corp of Engineer campground is very nice in the painter's, Georgia O'Keefe's, home area. Beautiful area. It will take you into Santa Fe which is a nice medium-sized town for exploring, museums, good restaurants and a great Farmer's Market.
