Highlights
- ▶ Aspen grove camping above Cebolla Creek; Lake City (lowest-population county in CO) provides genuine backcountry feel
- ▶ Access to Lake Fork of the Gunnison; exceptional fall color in a remote, rarely visited zone
- ▶ Off CO-149 — same scenic corridor as Lake City but different terrain from the higher Alpine Loop approach
Planning Notes
Two-track dirt road off CO-149; flat camping in aspen groves. ~20 ft practical — turning around is challenging farther in; scout on foot before committing. No facilities. Lake City (10 mi) closest resupply.
