Beautiful disperse camping once you get there

July 2024. Stock 2005 GMC 4x4 work truck, very basic. Some obstacles that were pretty much to the limit of my truck capabilities. New Bronco in front of me turned around. Once past the obstacles (which is why we do this, right?) lots of nice camping. The only drawback is the large power lines in the vicinity. No Verizon. Great views. This will probably be my go-to overnight place on my way from Nebraska to exploring more of Colorado.

Camping 10/10. Off-road Trail Extreme

I went up Pole Hill road in a 2018 Toyota Tacoma TRD off-road and it took everything in me to not scrape or bottom out. Lifted 4x4 is highly recommended.

Once you get past the off-road portion, the camping is amazing.

Access not worth the trouble

Don’t believe the navigation apps and go through lyons, it’s private property ; furthermore if you like I did make the drive though Estes park, have 4WD high clearance and a small vehicle… maybe you’ll make it to this brutally elusive last free camping spot off the main mountain roads
