I just got back from a fantastic two night boondocking trip up in Wyoming. Not far out of Larimie Wyoming is a section of the Medicine Bow National Forest which was used for military exercises after WW2. From I80 take the Happy Jack Rd exit. It leads you straight into...
Just North of Ward Colorado is Beaver Reservoir, accessible by a well graded dirt road (turn off Hwy 7 at sign for Boy Scout Camp, County Rd 96). Roughly 1.5 miles down the dirt road is the National Forest Boundary, which extends all the way to the reservoir (but not...
Just outside the Rocky Mountain National Park’s west entrance is Grand Lake, Colorado’s largest natural body of water. Grand Lake is straddled by the National Park to it’s East, and National Forest to it’s West. It was this National Forest that had my attention these past few days. Conor and...
I have so many travel/activity ideas romping around in my head for this summer that I feel the need to put them on ‘paper’. Many of these activities are the same ones that I think of each summer but continue to pass up when something else, (usually larger and more...
Willow Springs Trail is a dirt road leading into Arches National Park from Highway 191. It is 12 miles north of Moab between mile-markers 138 and 139. It is clearly marked from both North and South directions. I was lucky enough to get the exact boondocking site I scouted out...
The past few days have been rough on my body. After mountain biking on Wednesday (for my second time in two years) I decided to stay out in the desert north of Moab to save myself the same drive again in the morning. I was planning to drive a few...
Just south of the Wupatki National Monument, Loop Road pokes out of the Monument and into the National Forest. While there is no camping (aka; overnight parking) in the National Monument I am free to do so here in the National Forest. While I was not planning to camp out...
Pat & Nancy told me about this great place to boondock (I will not mark this one as it their own secret hideaway) and had planned to stay only Friday night, but I was so comfortable that I stuck around for the entire weekend. With my long work days on...
A planned stop before returning to Arizona, Granite Gap is only 11 miles south off the Interstate on Hwy 80. It is BLM land that I had heard of before as a great boondocking area, and Verizon says they offer a 3G signal too, so I came out to see...
Right off Interstate-17 (exit 256) is one of two entrances to Agua Fria National Monument. Badger Springs Rd is nothing more than a dirt road that brings you into the border of the monument about 1 mile. After that you are left with a trail that will bring you to...
