Review:
Cimarron Canyon State Park is a gorgeous state park near the town of Eagle Nest, extending for approximately eight miles along the stunning Cimarron Canyon between Ute Park and Tolby Creek. The park, which sits at an elevation of more than 7,800 feet above sea level, is traversed by the thickly-forested Cimarron River and offers amazing opportunities for wildlife watching as part of the regional Colin Neblett Wildlife Management Area. Parkgoers can enjoy amazing photo opportunities at the cliffs of the Palisades Sill or hike throughout the park's excellent trail system to sites such as the picturesque waterfalls of Clear Creek Trail. Opportunities to catch rainbow and brown trout abound at the Cimarron River and Clear Creek. Overnight camping is offered at three campgrounds throughout the park, which all feature RV and tent hookups.
