Hey guys/girls of CO. I'm in desperate need of some nature infused soul searching and am looking for a nice place to post up for the rest of the summer....

i want
- a river or lake reasonably close
- a skate park nearby (just incase soul searching gets boring)
- and... well thats about it

right now I'm thinking of just heading up to winter park and camping at idlewild or robbers roost(these have running clean water too which is a plus). I stayed at this really nice place in crested butte called cement creek too... but thats a long drive

oo quality mountain biking would be nice too

thanks fellow coloradians

Sorry man, I have a great spot but I really don't want anyone else to know where it is!  I just stumbled across this sweet place on a long hike one day, and it has all the elements of greatness - the most important being privacy and hard to find access.

Summit County!  And the Gore Range!  Gore Range is everything north of Buffalo until Kremmling.  AWESOME camping!! (but you have to hike a ways in sometimes).  My favs. are up near Salmon Lake, Upper Boulder Lake, or any of the drainages really.

But when you need to come out for a shower, skating, mtn. biking, or food, Silverthorne will have you covered.  Plus, there is Lake Dillon if you want a free shower

green mountain resivour...lake for swimming, with cliffs to jump off. and not far from silvy so you can get your skate on as well.
