Quick Weekend Camping

With the rains being so late this year, however, there was still snow at 6,000 feet, which made the nights really cold. We didn't pack for that weather and ended up a human burrito at night, trying to stay warm. Alas, we did not succeed. But it was hilarious.

I would recommend hiking along the fire roads and taking a dip in the river. You'll be in pain at first, then numb, and then you'll enjoy yourself. The rivers are full and beautiful, anywhere you go around there. And during the day, it's hot enough that you'll thaw out if you sit in the sun.

Best Way To Get Around:

It is a trick to find. It's off of Highway 50, right past Kyburz. You turn right onto Silver Fork Road and make your way down. It's a very nondescript road, as there isn't a big sign, so you have to keep your eyes open as soon as you pass Kyburz.
