Dispersed camping
One of the many challenging dispersed camping sites off the Peak to Peak requires great preparation, including an off-road vehicle.
Moments to remember
As quintessential as campfires are to camping, one must obey all rules of camping in Colorado to avoid disastrous conditions for those who call the state home, including wildlife.
Camping in Colorado requires a special kind of person and skill. Even in the middle of summer, temperatures can be freezing in the mornings and evenings and scorching in the afternoons. Knowing when to set up camp and where to place a tent is vital to surviving any camping trip in the wilderness of the Rocky Mountains.
Preparing for the unexpected while in the middle of nowhere is important. For safety tips, check out the following links:
