Rabbit's Ear Pass East Summit FR 251

Camp sites were plenty when I visited on a Thursday. Only people I saw were the forest service workers who were friendly and just out reminding people of the fire ban.

Lots of places to throw your tent out and get some rest, but if you’re close to the road you’ll hear cars. If your vehicle has a high center you’ll find nicer spots past the gate about 200 yards from the highway. Nice that it’s at about 9500 elevation too.

Mosquitos there, but not awful.

Recommend 4x4 high clearance to get to the campsites. If you have low clearance, there are a couple right at the start but they don't have much tree clearance. 

We drove about a quarter mile down the road and got a campsite that was lush with a ton of tree coverage. It felt like we were alone in the world, no other campsites in site. We even saw elk walking around the mossy ground. Bring bug spray!

Dog friendly, no amenities.
