This area is in the central part of New Mexico. It is just west of Carrizozo. Around 5000 years ago, Little Black Peak erupted like a volcano. It's childish spewing-fit created a river of lava that flowed 44 miles into the Tularosa Basin. Billy the Kid and Pat Garrett spent much time in this area. At the campsite there was a hill that we walked up where you could see 360 degrees. I am sure Billy spent time here as he could certainly see if anyone was coming for him. We were in awe of the landscape in any direction we looked.
