I fielded many great shots from this camping trip! The campground is free and trails lead to two other lakes nearby.
On the road to Alta Lakes and the campground, this ghost town appears on a curve in the road. This area is not far from Telluride, Colorado.
The Paint Mines Interpretive Park is located in a county park a few miles southeast of Calhan, Colorado, which is 30 miles east of Colorado Springs. It is so-called because of the colorful clay and sandstone hoodoo rocks that Native American Indians used in making their clay bowls and other items, as well as at least one brick manufacturer.
