Colorado Camping

Camping In Colorado

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. ~ John Muir

I’ve seen the mountains in the East and I’ve seen the mountains in the West,  and West, well, West is best.

After doing a little research online, I’ve come across some great resources that I’d like to share.  You can search for places to camp in Colorado here:  https://campcolorado.com/campground-search and download Colorado’s Most Complete Campground Guide.

Explore Your America here, for a wealth of information.  Register, and you can plan/save links and info for your trip.

Camping Checklist
Gunnison Gorge Wilderness Area

“Mountains seem to answer an increasing imaginative need in the West. More and more people are discovering a desire for them, and a powerful solace in them. At bottom, mountains, like all wildernesses, challenge our complacent conviction – so easy to lapse into – that the world has been made for humans by humans. Most of us exist for most of the time in worlds which are humanly arranged, themed and controlled. One forgets that there are environments which do not respond to the flick of a switch or the twist of a dial, and which have their own rhythms and orders of existence. Mountains correct this amnesia. By speaking of greater forces than we can possibly invoke, and by confronting us with greater spans of time than we can possibly envisage, mountains refute our excessive trust in the man-made. They pose profound questions about our durability and the importance of our schemes. They induce, I suppose, a modesty in us.” ― Robert Macfarlane

Safety

Sure, it seems obvious, but don’t feed the bears…… If you insist on bear watching, check out these webcams. (Alaska) or in real life: https://www.wildlifeworldwide.com/discover/wildlife/bear-watching/locations.

It's bear season, keep the doors closed!

Yep, even if you’re not “roughing it”, you still need to have some “bear smarts”.

Durango | Silverton Train

Durango & Silverton Train

Although the last time I saw this train I was riding a Harley and not the train, I will be back to ride the rails. There are no pictures and no words to describe the magnificence and majesty, the feelings of freedom and wonderful insignificance that just “being” in these beautiful mountains awakens. I fell in love with the rugged, rustic beauty of Colorado.

Check out “Railroading The Rockies” for the ultimate rail journey.
