Fossil Creek Reservoir
We set up in the parking lot at the end of the Natural Area Entrance. The Natural Area entrance can be easily missed, off of East Country Road 32 - so make sure to pay attention.
Upper Beaver Meadows, Rocky Mountain National Park, CO
From the Beaver Meadows Park Entrance, keep driving on the main road. Just before starting to ascend Navy Hill Rd, there is a turnoff to Upper Beaver Meadows Road. This is an unmarked dirt road. We set up in the parking lot at the end of this road, several miles from the turnoff.
Boyd Lake, Loveland, CO
On the north-west side of the lake is a park/natural area. We set up in the parking lot at the south-most spot in this park.
Carter Lake Reservoir, CO
You can find us at the south-side of Carter Lake, which is due west from Berthoud, CO, in the southern most (and largest) parking lot there.
