FYI, the locals prounounce it BYOO-na Vista, not BWE-na. Yes it's weird. Sort of like how Salida is Sa-LIE-da rather than the proper Sa-LEE-da (exit in Spanish).
Thank you for the detailed boondocking info! Yes, lots of spots up 375 and the side roads off it, they're all over up there.

Thanks for the feedback. I will do my best to pronounce it like a local

There are great boondocking sites on the west side of Cottonwood Pass, which is the highest paved crossing of the Continental Divide in N America.
