Go if

Fall campers chasing aspen color and elk rut activity will get the best of this place: dry trails, thin crowds, and that September-October wildlife window in a genuinely scenic mountain forest.

Skip if

No potable water on-site is a real logistical hurdle, if you're not prepared to pack in every drop you'll drink and cook with, this setup will frustrate you fast.
