    If this kind of post has been created already, please delete. But at the moment I'm not finding anything.

    I use to subscribe to the SoCal/NorCal regions, and they had similar like posts.

    If anyone in the Colorado region would care to share some awesome spots they've come across for camping/adventure please share and post!

    And Ill start.

    Just South-East of Taylor Park Reservoir is Mirror Lake,

    https://www.google.com/maps/place/M...65d0a1b!8m2!3d38.7474052!4d-106.4321941?hl=en

    A little bit of off-roading to get there (rocks about 6-9" in size, but easy). Plenty of dispersed spots along the way (Along Willow Creek), as well as a nice campground next to the lake. At the time I camped here, we were literally the only ones in the campground. Fishing was shit...but there is always Taylor Reservoir to fall back on.

    Well, I sometimes stay in a Holiday Inn express.

    Today I purchased a softopper, so I may be “roughing it” again this next summer...with a truck bedz insert of course.

    I would rather sleep outdoors than take the risk of bringing bed bugs home from a hotel.

    Crested Butte is probably one of my favorite places in CO, and I hardly ever go. Some really good single track and endless memories to be had there ladies and gents.

    That was Lake Como. That’s my good friend and his wife. I love that picture.

    Lots of wildlife up there. Bear, Big Horned Sheep, Mountain goats, deer, etc.

    Some really good rock climbing. Military SF trains up there.

    If you’ve got little ones and are just getting them into camping, dream canyon about 10 minutes west of Betasso is an easy tuneup and practice for more involved camping.

    This spot was nice and secluded, relatively close to Denver as well.

    This is cool camping setup. With your SC et all; how’s towing? How’s your MPG?

    Average 12 when towing. Usually mountains involved. But I guess I have go downhill after I go uphill.:D

    Also, it's a REALLY light trailer.
