As an East Coaster, I'm often jealous of you folks out West with so many dispersed camping options.
I'm looking into a trip out to the Canyon next summer. I know summer isn't the most ideal time, but maybe in the more Northern areas at higher elevations it might be doable. I figure mostly we'll be looking to plug in, or at least be nearer teh attractions and action.... but I wouldn't mind getting off the highway a time or two....
Thing is, I know nothing about how it works. i was looking into web re-sources. Found this map
https://www.blm.gov/style/medialib/blm/az/images/camping.Par.80518.File.dat/DispersedCamping.pdf
as a Dispersed camping location map for the state of AZ.
What am I supposed to do with that??? Not enough detail or resolution to be useful at all by my estimation. No way to tell what is public and what's not....
Most likely I'll be coming in I-40 from the East. I see that there's a scattering of land there, but how to find it?
A similar web site I found linked for New Mexico seems to be down at the moment....
But are there better resources out there someplace, that might help me find some potential spots along our route?
