CO Camping Gems

I took the course. Passed. Thanks for the link!

 

I like that tent on the GFC. DIY, or a purchase somewhere?... I got my GFC used, and it has the orange one. Would much rather have a more neutral color.

Badass truck btw

 

It's a prior owner DIY.

 

want to trade? i have the grey and want the orange

 

Gonna chance our arm at a first come spot this weekend in steamboat area. Incase it doesn't work, anyone have any recommendations for other spots?

 

You better leave Thursday morning for a first come spot, otherwise,

 

i have some back up spots but wanted to see if others had better options.

 

What is even open?
Steamboat was still getting dumped on not even a month ago.

Stage Coach is open year round and serious doubt it would be full before school is out.

 

the got dumped on this week and possible into the weekend. Trip has been postponed. Fucking snow

 

Does anyone have any spots in or around Aspen? Looking to do some dispersed camping and hit the beer festival that’s in Aspen this weekend.

Thanks!

 

Been a long time but at Woody Creek there is CO 18 that becomes 18B as you climb up Larkspur Mountain, there are some places up there I have seen people "dispersed" camping.

 

Thank you, I’ll take a look!!

Out of curiosity, why is dispersed in quotes?

 

I never verified the Dispersed rules for this area, was just seeing where road went after fishing.

 

last weekend turned out good

 

Damn it's good to live in Colorado

 

This is the exact type of property/view I want to purchase and build a small forever home on. Mountains, open to see wildlife, but still has trees for cover but no thick underbrush... Unfortunately I don't think I'll ever be able to afford it the way things are going.

 

wow! Where is this? Absolutely stunning photo

 

Same buddy, but on the bright side, we are blessed with plentiful public land out west.

Western San Juans. Fantastic camp site. Watched a herd of 40ish elk graze and play for an hour near the creek below us. Had a fox get a little too curious about our dinner (high lumen strobe flashlight works well to scare them away lol)

 

got about 20 mosquito bites! That’s with spray too

Got pretty lucky outside of glenwood, was expecting it to be pretty crowded up on transfer trail but not one single person drove by all night/morning
