The dirt road leading to this area is relatively easy if you have a higher clearance vehicle. Really, if you know how to drive, and have any type of sport utility vehicle, it should be manageable.

From what we saw, there were maybe six sites on roads off the main one, but there could’ve been more higher up. We noticed an area that was specifically for people with ATVs, etc., and we decided not to venture up that way, wanting more quiet.

We ended up at the site with 320° view overlooking a small valley to the north and Pike’s Peak to the south. It had a bit of tree coverage, but other sites had more. Being on the hill, made it really windy, and it rained off and on all weekend, so it was a bit chilly, but not unmanageable. The wind did make it sometimes difficult to get the fire going. Again, it’s not a bad thing with all the wind because the view was worth it.

There was quite a bit of trash, bullet casings, and broken glass in the site which we cleaned up. We could hear shooting in the distance and ATVs and dirt bikes did make the rounds, so it was a little noisy at times, but overall it was pretty quiet. It was a beautiful place to visit and I will definitely be back to the area.
