6. Pinehill to Cuba
Pinehill to Cuba – 175 Miles
Viable camping spots are scarce along this leg of the NMBDR – any camping here must be viewed as a privilege and access is granted solely by the residents of the reservation. However, easily accessible camping is found just south of Grants inside the Cibola National Forest.
Epic views and a short section of primitive ohv roads bring you into Grants, a large town with plenty of access to fuel, food, and lodging. Outside of Grants, the route is very remote with long stretches of hard-packed dirt and the potential for some sand. There are several gates on this route so be prepared to open and close them behind you.
