My wife and I have about 4 days with out the kids and want to go out and finally experience Colorado. We have lived here for 4 years and we hardlyh ever go to the mountains. We want to do some fishing and some easy to moderate hiking. Caming in a KOA is out of the question (that’s not really camping) but a mountain campground would be ok. If we need to hike in that would be fine too.. Thanks for any suggestions.

    Burro Bridge Campground in the San Juan National Forest. It is near Dunton Hot Springs. You will love it. televisionmademewhatiam

    Maroon Bells near Aspen is my absolute favorite spot for mountain scenery in Colorado. You can camp nearby at the Silver Queen, Silver Bell or Silver Bar campgrounds (Silver Queen is the best). The hiking is exquisite in the summer – you will not believe all the wildflowers! I believe you can fish in the Roaring Fork River with the appropriate license. A great way to get there would be to drive over Independence Pass (Hwy 82 from the east). You can also check out Aspen for a nice meal or to spot a celebrity. I also recommend the Woody Creek Tavern not far away for a decent meal and a drink in honor of the late Dr. Hunter S. Thompson! If you really want to experience the outdoors in Colorado, this is the place. Have a GREAT time! Mama Gretch

    I just got back from camping in the mountains in Colorado. I would reccommend Golden Gate Canyon park. it is close to denver, there are several trails to hike, facilities, and a great view. if you want to go for something more rugged check out Kite Lake, absolutely stunning views, and great trails to hidden lake, waterfalls, mountains…all above treeline. thatoneguy
