Trailhead To Tent Paradise

If you’re willing to put the work in on this trailhead (Rich Creek Trailhead), than you won’t be disappointed.

You can park at the trailhead- get there extra early and pack it in. Dispersed camping only is allowed along the trail but be sure to follow the rules about how far away you need to be from the trail and river (1/4 mile).

I’d suggest going at least 4-5 miles in before popping a tent. The views get better and better.

The ponds and streams are full of tiny cutthroat. A real CO high altitude fly fishing treat!

Also-be aware- this is high altitude so it’s cold at night...wear layers!
