The camp host did not take my money and instead mentioned that after he left the campground, camping at the site would not be monitored. I stayed for another few days.

He was very friendly and polite and had a lot of information to share. From the parking area there are several paths that can be taking to either scale the small hill leading to a half dozen picnic tables and park grills, or that lead down to the shoreline. The grills seemed to be moderately maintained with a couple of them overflowing with charred debris, but the tables looked to be maintained fairly well. The best viewing spot was at the crest of the hill which let you see out over the entire lake and into the small valley leading to the adjoining lake. There is also a small boat ramp with its own parking area separate from the campground area that is obscured from view helping with the seclusion of the campground. The actual grounds in the non parking area are completely natural and unaltered being left up to natures choices, which is mostly covered in rocks and sparse patches of high mountain grasses. Also at the parking entrance is a small building with restrooms, that are mildly maintained and cleaned, although they were adequate for a camping environment. Overall, this is a nice little camping area with access to some incredible lake views, park grills, and fishing locations.

This place is just gorgeous. The pics I took don't even do justice to seeing it in person so you…read morehave to see this place yourself if you are ever passing nearby. It is part of the national parks system and you can reserve spots and get all that extra good details like mountain heights and all that cool geeky stuff here: http://www.recreation.gov/camping/white-star/r/campgroundDetails.do?contractCode=NRSO&parkId=70791 I decided to chance it without a reservation with hopes to still be able to grab a spot or at least sleep in my truck up in the mountains. There are a lot of camping spots, but it can get busy even in late summer and weekdays. I don't think all the spots on the Sage Loop are on the online reservation system. This place has 3 "walk-up" sites. Only #36 has a real walk to the spot. 37, and 38 are just over a small Ridge where you park. These 2 have gorgeous views! I stayed at 37 and 38 is just a little higher. All the spots have a ground pit or a stand up grill with a grate. I saw some grills even had a flat griddle on it. Drinking water is on the lower loop where most rv people stay. I think some of those areas have electric hookups, but not sure. Restrooms are septic tank hard building "vault toilets", with no running water. Bring wipes as the toilet paper is not great. Baby wipes are a vital must in any proper camping list! $19-$20 for camping spots. About $6 for day use. It's a self pay envelope system. That being said, the host does not check on people until after 9am, usually more around noon. Important for those on the road not looking to leave a mark and don't want to spend much or can't spend anything. I understand how camping and traveling goes and sometimes you arrive late and leave early without any fuss to anyone. I will also note that even if all the spots are taken on the top loop, or lower loop, you can still pitch a tent in the top loop in the center or by the #36 walk up area. Pack up early and you won't get a slap on the wrist for doing the wrong thing. :) If you stay here. Get up early and see if you can catch the mist coming down the valley. You can arrange canoe, kayak and jet skis for lake use. The camp host is super helpful. The mountains literally around this part are the tallest 14,000+ mountains in all of Colorado! Enjoy!

Rich Creek Trail is a moderate hike in the Buffalo Peak Wilderness near the town of Fairplay. This…read moreparticular trail is on the outskirts of the Weston Pass Campground, with the small trailhead parking lot just prior. A fairly simple out and back trail it may be, however the majority of the trail sits alongside Rich Creek. So for the duration of the hike you hear the wonderful sounds of the rushing creek. Absolutely splendid! With all the rain we've gotten this season, it's no surprise that nature is putting on a show earlier than normal. The abundant evergreens are looking more like summer than mid spring. The vibrant trees definitely added an extra pop of color during the hike and I certainly wasn't complaining. The trail is well marked, and at one point you will have to cross the creek. Be prepared to add some extra wood to the makeshift bridge, because it was on its last leg as I crossed. Tread lightly. I did see some stunning bluebirds during my time out here. Otherwise no major wildlife to be found. 5.5 miles roundtrip. 1,161 ft. elevation gain. 2.5 hours total. For a Memorial Day Weekend hike, I was very content with this trail. I bet this trail is even more beautiful in the Fall. Saw about 9 or 10 people the whole time. Parking lot has 7-8 spots, so if you're going on a Summer weekend it might fill up. Hiking season has begun!

As a result, we had to search for a new property at a much later date, when most of the good options and reasonable prices were already gone. Based on our experience, I would not recommend booking with this resort if you want confidence that your confirmed reservation will actually be honored. This situation created unnecessary stress and seriously disrupted our vacation planning.

Elbert), mountain biking (Colorado Trail), and water sports (the Twin Lakes). Invite a pile of friends, pack enough food and clothes for a week in the woods, kick back and enjoy! (We did take away a star because this isn't as remote as we prefer. The plus side of that is easy access to town - Leadville, BV, or Twin Lakes - and great cell service, but the minus is that you don't really feel like you are "disconnected" and there can be a bit of road noise.) All in all, a fantastic place to spend time with family and friends! We're ready to book for 2014!

The first three weekends of August are peak season in Leadville starting with Boom Days and then two weekends of foot then bike races. 2. The upper level lounge (meaning liquor!) car booths on the Leadville railroad are well worth the fee and should be booked in advance. 3. The Silver Dollar Saloon is a museum of sorts with Doc Hollidays original piano among other things. 4. The Silver Kings walk/hike is a good route for a relatively easy orientation to the area. 5.

Fortunately, this was one of the really good ones. My wife picked up some travel literature and some tips and recommendations on things to see and do in Leadville. The lady working at the visitor's center was very nice and quite helpful (with the possible exception of her recommendation to visit the Matchless Mine Museum). An interesting side note - my son recognized the visitor's center as one of the places he painted when visiting Leadville with a group of "work campers" from our church in North Olmsted, OH. This work camp adventure was in 1994 or 1995 and it looks like the visitor's center has been repainted since then. He also spotted the cabin next to the First Presbyterian Church of Leadville where they were staying (First Presbyterian was hosting my son's group from John Knox Presbyterian in North Olmsted).
