Comfort Along the Colorado Trail
Along the Trail
Browns Creek Trail Head (near Buena Vista): Although outhouses are available, the site doesn't have corrals or water at times. One-half mile south of the trailhead, along County Road 272, there's a good camping area with grass.
Chalk Creek Trail Head (near Nathrop): The nearby Bootleg Campground has outhouses, water and hitching posts. Take County Road 291 to trail-head parking.
