Roosevelt NF Dispersed off FR 321.1 (Magnolia Rd)

On the steep, forested slope above Boulder Canyon in Roosevelt National Forest, this cluster of three to four informal pullouts sits just off FR 321.1 near Magnolia Road — elevation around 8,100 feet, with open views toward the Indian Peaks and Longs Peak from the upper sites. The approach via Magnolia Road is genuinely demanding: sustained double-digit grades, tight switchbacks, and a hard 30-foot vehicle limit make this unsuitable for trailers or Class C rigs, while high-clearance vans, trucks, and SUVs handle the dirt access spur with care. Nights here are notably quiet, with woodland surroundings and mountain vistas that make it a worthwhile alternative when nearby Gross Reservoir campgrounds are full.
