My next destination was a camping area a couple miles down the road from Cibola National Wildlife Refuge in Arizona. Several friends joined me at the “Hippie Hole” camping spot. Not sure why it’s called that – ‘probably a story there. It’s just an open area on the river with free camping. The only amenities I can remember are one pit toilet (which I did not use) and trash pickup (which was very nice). The Refuge was great in the winter as many birds were migrating through. It also has a very nice, quiet walking path away from the Refuge road. In addition, I recommend the visitors center which has a lot of helpful and interesting information.
