Where best primitive camp site for colorado with in two hour drive from denver? |
Travel Info around lake and good hiking trails Travel Tips Backpacking? Rocky Mountain National Park, hands down. Lotta visitors to the park, few camp, even fewer backpack. A few miles off the road gets you away from the crowds. Not away from everyone, but the scenery is worth it. You may need reservations, because it's that good. June or September would be better for crowds than July/August. http://www.nps.gov/archive/romo/visit/pa... Car camping? Nederland area, maybe Rainbow Lakes. "Six miles north of Nederland off Highway 72, then left on turnoff for University of Colorado Mountain Research Station. Six miles to campground over a poorly maintained, bumpy road. Rustic. Wilderness access. Open late May through early September. 18 sites. USFS fee. (800) 280-CAMP." http://www.nederlandchamber.org/info/cam... Others Take Mt Evans Rd. There are several primitive sites all within 2 hrs of Denver. You just take 1-70 west from Denver, get off at Mt Evans Rd and follow the directions. Be aware it does get cold at night and can snow anytime of the year, so take precautions. Have a great time. Peace. Try Meadow Creek north of Frasier Gross Reservior, You'll love it it's like city park next to a lake. If want to find a place to pitch a tent get there on wednesday, bring a 6' security fence and you'll have some privacy. In other words doing anything in Colorado outdoors these days could best be enjoyed in your own back-yard. What a joke primitive camping in Colorado - This isn't 1975!!! Sorry, best plan on staying home.... Grew up in Broomfield... Turquoise Lake near Leadville. http://www.leadvilleusa.com/index.ihtml... |
