Free camping at elevation near Paradise Divide requires a vehicle with 4x4 or solid clearance. The road up includes exposed, narrow sections. Dispersed sites are now regulated and marked, each with a fire ring, and weekday arrivals have a better chance of securing a spot than summer weekends. The area sits close to the 401 and 404 mountain biking trails and high-elevation hiking. Snow can linger into July, so August is the most reliable window for access.
Description
This area is closed to dispersed camping as of 2024. Fines will be enforced - please camp at the designated campgrounds in the area.
