Encampment Tie Hack Trailhead

Forest Service roads lead to this primitive trailhead campground in the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forests, where dispersed camping serves as a base for backcountry access rather than a destination itself. The site sits at elevation with minimal developed amenities, functioning primarily as an overnight staging area for hikers and hunters heading into the surrounding wilderness areas.

Campers should come prepared with their own water and supplies, as services remain limited at this remote location. For those seeking more developed facilities, campgrounds around Encampment provide additional options with standard amenities. The access road requires higher-clearance vehicles during wet conditions.
