overview / intro
For the long Memorial weekend, we decided to get some dispersed camping in. That's where you find federal lands that you can drive over off-road paths to get to primitive camp sites that are far away from others and real close to the natural wilderness.
We headed towards the Utah and Colorado border to get away from big cities and people too. The first couple nights we stayed within the Ashley National Forest. It's in north east Utah with lots to see and do. There were dinosaur tracks, arch hikes, man made reservoir, gorge, recreation area, forest, mountains, and some great views. Also, there was time to roast some marshmallows.
Then we headed to the Colorado side of things. We went through the Dinosaur National Monument for some hiking and camping. On our way back to Denver, we swung by and drove through the Colorado National Monument too.
Recommend:
- Harpers Corner in Dinosaur National Park
- Drive through Colorado National Monument & stop at all the view points
- Drive through Douglas Pass on highway 139
- Red Canyon visitor center - hike and view over Green River
- Moonshine Arch hike
- Red Fleet State Park
