Aspen color peaks mid-September through early October, and roads remain passable before winter closures. Late-season snow is possible. Summer brings warmer temperatures but also bugs.

Go if

Hunters and self-sufficient campers who pack in all their water will find this their kind of spot. Fall is the sweet season here, and the price is zero.

Skip if

No potable water on site means hauling everything yourself, and with only one vault toilet and no defined sites, anyone expecting a developed campground will be disappointed.
