Perfect camping

The trail getting to the camp was moderately difficult. I took my Kia Telluride up the trail and just had to take it slow as to not bottom out of rocks. The trail has a couple of creek crossings, gorgeous views but we did not go all the way up the trail as we were just looking for camping. We only saw one or two camping spots as far up as we went unless we missed some but they were really great spots right next to the creek!

Great trail campsite with a creek

Saw this trail-side camp site while out Jeeping in the mountains near Breckenridge, CO. Nice pull-in site with a fire ring available and plenty of firewood that you can cut up around. The area was in a fire ban at the time so we were not able to start a fire. Had a nice sound of the creek rushing along beside us. Arrived at camp a little late that night (was already dark) and had no traffic around during our whole stay. There are lots of similar sites along the trail.
