I was the only person I saw in a National Monument. It was unreal. There were no people, no park rangers. It was eerie.

Red River Trip Hike to the Convergence of the Rio Grande & Red Rivers
While camping in the Red RIver, New Mexico area several day hikes were accomplished. One such hike was to the confluence of the Rio Grande and Red River. Our approach was from the plateau in the Wild Rivers Recreation Area of the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument. We descended from the Little Arsenic Trailhead down to the Rio Grande on a switchback trail that dropped 700 feet in less than a mile. From there we proceeded along the river's edge to the point where the Rio Grande meets the Red River. At this point you are directly below the area called La Junta -- a point on the plateau that rises 800 feet. From the confluence of the rivers it was a 5-mile out-and-back hike. The strenuous part of the hike in on the return where you climb 700 feet to reach the trailhead at the top of the plateau. The best time to do this hike is early morning -- the earlier, the better. And remember, it's a fee area and you need to pack-in, pack-out everything. You won't regret having done this hike and don't forget to wade in the water of both rivers at the point of their intersection, but be careful as the rocks are slippery and the current is swift.

The Rio Grande is among the longest twenty-five rivers in the world and the fourth or fifth longest in North America. It starts near the Continental Divide in the San Juan Mountains, runs 470 miles through New Mexico to the border of Texas and the Mexican province of Chihuahua, and empties into the Gulf of Mexico. For about 1,250 miles it forms the international boundary between the two countries. The river is between 1,800 and 1,900 miles long overall, depending on how its course changes from year to year.
(ref):
The Rio Grande flows out of the snowcapped Rocky Mountains in Colorado and journeys 1,900 miles to the Gulf of Mexico. It passes through 800-foot chasms of the Rio Grande Gorge, a wild and remote area of northern New Mexico. The canyon provides a wide variety of recreational opportunities, luring fishermen, hikers, artists, and whitewater boating enthusiasts. In 1968, the Rio Grande and Red River were among the first eight rivers Congress designated into the National Wild and Scenic River System to protect outstanding resources values.
The Wild and Scenic River flows through the Rio Grande Gorge Recreation Area. This includes the Wild Rivers on the north and the Orilla Verde areas in the south.
A spectacular vista of the Upper Gorge is from the High Bridge Overlook. The Lower Gorge Area of Critical Environmental Concern covers over 16,000 acres of public land along a 14-mile-long stretch of the Rio Grande from the village of Pilar to the Velarde Diversion Dam.

Ep. 63: Taos & Rio Grande del Norte National Monument | New Mexico RV camping travel
After replacing two worn trailer tires on our RV in Alamosa, Colorado, we head south into New Mexico and score what may well be our best campground experience ever near the town of Questa in Rio Grande del Norte National Monument. While there, we do some hiking into the Red River Gorge, experience the adobe architecture of Taos, immerse ourselves in native culture at Taos Pueblo, and explore the Taos Mountains communities of Taos Ski Valley and Red River.
Filmed: August 21-23, 2018

Rio Grande del Norte National Monument Campsite Tours & Hiking - 4k UHD
I can't wait to go back in an RV. Dare to dream! Much warmer and dryer in Rio Grande del Norte National Monument than in the higher elevations of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains near Red River. Apparently, it rains a lot during July and August at the higher elevations. It was much dryer (freezing cold too) during our May and June Red River area camping trips.
