Great spots along the river

This BLM land is well trafficked, the sizes are big and there are 5-6 in the first few miles of the road. They sit right along the river slow flowing. There is ZERO cell service or gas for 15+ miles. So pack accordingly. Great to unplug and explore.

Location

Throughline/Coal Creek TH (Dispersed)-Paonia RD is located in Colorado
