Description
iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
Nice pull off off of 184 between Salida and Buena Vista. Trail continues down to private property but confirm using OnX that it is on national forest land.
Site is near last chance Prospect mine. Fun to go check out the old site.
Beautiful views of collegiate peaks.
One could also head north off of 184. I walked over there it’s a little bit more rugged. Less views. But more protected from the wind. Also better cell service over there too.
I regularly had one and sometimes two bars of Verizon LTE.
Sunrise and sunset were epic.
Did have a little bit of trouble leveling but I’m not super picky. Would be tough to find a tent spot.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.

OP wasn't kidding about these sunsets. WOW.
pretty unlevel so if you don't have leveling blocks it might be unpleasant.
1 bar of T Mobile.
the road forks last like half mile ish. either way will take you to the spot but unless you have a monster truck, stay to the right, the way to the left is GNARLY.
stated here 2 nights & 2 days, only saw 2 cars go by the whole time.
there is a fire pit, didn't light a fire though as it's pretty windy up here.
very minimal bugs, some moths at night.
