TL;DR
Beautiful camping, incredibly peaceful, only an hour and a half from Denver, CO.
Campsite
I stayed at site #28 out of 40 total. Forest Road 119 continues for about a mile from the picnic area. After a semi-steep, semi-sketch hill, dispersed camping begins in designated areas.
I stayed here for 3 days, 2 nights. Behind my campsite flowed a stream. I can’t describe in words how perfect it was.

Other Thoughts
I didn’t realize how much I needed some peace and quiet. It’s been a crazy couple weeks packing all of my stuff up from my apartment.
I also got some reeeeally cool drone shots that are my newly-added desktop backgrounds 😅 like this one:
Photos like these get me excited to get out there and capture more.
