Twisted Shoe is located along the Juniper Canyon Road via the Glenn Spring Road. Juniper Canyon Road begins 6.8 miles from the junction of the Glenn Spring Road and the main road to Rio Grande Village.
This is a rough, backcountry road that requires high clearance vehicles to safely negotiate. After rains, 4-wheel drive may be required.
It takes approximately 90 minutes to reach the campsite from the paved road. Do not attempt to find the campsite in the dark.
The 5.3 mile (8.5km) Juniper Canyon road is very rocky and generally requires a 4-wheel drive vehicle.
Secluded car camping near Juniper Canyon Trail. Very little/or no car traffic on nearby gravel road to trailhead. Nice boulders around the camp site and cover from wind. Takes an hour plus to get to site from main road.
Place was amazing, highly recommended it. Road out to it was a little rough. Our Subaru made it just fine had to take it slow.
