Red Rocks Heaven

This place is magical. We drove 6.7 miles off the paved turn off to an amazing overlook. The sunset against the red rocks is fantastic. Well worth the drive for free camping. No facilities so pack it in and pack it out but there are two ancient dwelling sites that are open from 9:30-3:00 each day with vault toilets and water. 2 bars of T-Mobile 5G service at the top of the hill. Fires permitted on calm days/nights unless otherwise states. While camp sites are spread out and noise is not a concern there are loads of people camping/boondocking and using the ATV/OHV trails nearby. Very friendly people, very clean and well established sites. Worth noting we towed a small trailer in a high clearance 4x4 and it was bumpy but an airstream and toy hauler were near our site too, so anything is possible. Cheers!

Sitenear lookout.
