Great campgrounds for the adventure hiker

Most SUVs will be fine on this AWD access road. There's not many difficult sections and since there are pull offs to camp or let others pass, navigating the road isn't much problem.

This is a great area to disperse camp if you want to access some great hikes in some backcountry part of Colorado. During the drive of the access road, there will be trail signs for places like Warden Gulch, Chihuahua Gulch, and Cinnamon Gulch. The very end of the road is also where this cool abandoned mine of some kind is located. I've been there before and seen people park in this turnaround area and take motorbikes or horses onto the other side of Peru Creek to explore the mine. You can access it on foot as well. It's totally worth checking out, just explore safely.
All along this #260 road there are opportunities to pull off and camp. There are established sites all over the place. They can fill up on popular weekends of the year I'm sure. There are no toilets, showers, facilities, or waste bins. Pack accordingly to minimize impact.
