Paradise Divide Dispersed Camping - NO LONGER DISPERSED

Still some snow up here but should be gone by August. Holy moly it’s gorgeous up here. Road up to here isn’t for the faint of heart but it isn’t necessarily difficult.

Several dispersed campsites to choose from, all with amazing views and fire rings. Favorite place on earth.

This is in my top 5 most beautiful places I've ever camped. The roads leading up to it are definitely most manageable in a vehicle with 4x4 or good clearance and there are some very exposed, narrow sections to be wary of depending on the route you choose. There are a handful of marked sites up at Paradise Divide (as all dispersed camping is now regulated and marked in Crested Butte area). If you are arriving on a weekday you shouldn't have too much trouble nabbing a site, but weekends in the summer may not be easy to get a spot. These sites are located very close to some of the best mountain biking trails, the 401 and 404, as well as a wealth of high mountain hiking.
