SECRET COLORADO

3 - Chapman Lake

(September 29 - October 20, 2014)

(See map and practical information here)


From the small town of Basalt, the Fryingpan River enters the White River National Forest,
a rather lonely area...

 

 

 

Right outside of Basalt, on both sides of the river, steep cliffs ...


... whose color matches quite well that of the aspens


 

The Chapman Campground (altitude 8800 ft = 2680 m) is the only campground which is still open -
and looked after by two lovely ladies, Fran and Vick.
We are the only campers...

 

 

 

 


 

But we figured we might find even better, more to the South ...
