Something not right?

Description

The most level spot we could find in the clearing, which had an amazing sunrise view over the valley. Trail in had rocks of all sizes and 4WD is recommended, as is higher clearance on your vehicle. Tucked up against the tree line and had a great fire pit. It did get quite chilly at night being 9300ft up. Bring warm gear to camp in. Wind does pick up so make sure you have tent steaks and heavy items for chairs to stay down if you get up. (Also, this is open range so cattle could greet you in the morning. We didn’t have any visitors, but there is cow poop scattered all over the clearing. It was dry and we moved a few piles with sticks. No big deal.)

Latest Check-Ins

4WD definitely recommend.

Trail: Rocky / deeply-grooved walls in sections. Went off-trail in a couple of spots — thought I may get stuck.

Spot: The views of Capitol Reef, in the horizon, make this spot a pretty special one. No other campers around.

Internet: AT&T 2 bars - 34 down / 1 up
