Warning this place May Be Hazardous to your Health: Too Hot. Not a good spot to visit in late Spring or Summer. Definitely no camping in the Summer. Average daytime temp about 105F. Daytime feels like an open flamed BBQ pit. Nice place to visit in the Winter & Fall "Only."

The drive down to Rio Grande Village is straight forward, but not very scenic. The village area is pleasant, but hot. But sure to drive over to see the entrance to the downstream canyon.

Not much to see in Rio Grande Village. There is a campground and bathroom. The drive into the village you travel through a neat rock tunnel. Before the tunnel is some nice shale rock alone side the road that has different shades of red and orange running through it.
