FR 1950 provides access to Costilla Creek in the Carson National Forest, featuring a scenic canyon with towering rock cliffs and multiple parking areas along the creek for fishing and picnicking.

The road is a well-maintained forest road accessible to 2WD vehicles, though it may have potholes and becomes unmaintained after rain or snow.

Fishing is catch-and-release only with artificial flies or lures, and the area offers free dispersed camping opportunities once you enter the National Forest.
