Amazing vistas

Amazing vistas! Big private sites. Tough road that gets progressively technical as you go farther up towards trail head.

Amazing views

The site I found has great views and other sites are far. Can see Salida from site. Very rough road.

Perfect BLM camping

Great views of the mountains and some site you get to see the city below. Verizon I have 2 bars of 5g. Cows are grazing, they’re great but leash up pets. Perfect spot if you want to camp and explore the local area. 80 degrees with most sites offering shade from trees. Road can’t get difficult for cars at one spot. Easier to travel during day
