Some good views by 4x4

You really want a 4x4 in this area to get to good spots. It’s crowded and can be sketchy in my experience as a fire fighter up there. Bike riders take offense to people shooting and vice versa. Can be loud at night and day with motorized vehicles.

Easy to find. Plenty of space.

Drove out to this spot off Ski Road in Allenspark. Most spots sit on a creek that gives a good ambiance. Few spots need 4x4 or really good tires, but there’s a spot for everyone. Clear skies at night, but tree cover if you prefer. Quick drive to Estes Park. No Verizon cell service.

Not a great spot

Decent drive and not hard to find. This is not meant for travel trailers, pop ups, or anything except texts. Even then, while the 1 area was tiny, the second was large and open for the ground was all dust- ash. Super filthy and made a mess of everything. Also, that road is wicked and jagged. 4x4 and smaller trucks only. Not a great place in my opinion.

Great spot... But only one.

Awesome scenic drive, great spacious spot. But only for one party. If someone else is there, you're outta luck. Fire road is gated off so no other options.

Hidden Gem

This place was slightly hard to find, but obtaining a MVUM for the region made it a lot easier. The sites are very spread out and there weren’t many people there, despite it being a weekend in June when I visited. No cell service at my site, just sporadic on the road in. Would definitely stay here again
