Well, I just wanted to share my experience of camping in colorado. I did not go to Rocky Mtn but to more to the west and south west of colorado. it is so wonderful experience to camp. It really refreshes your mind. Our first camping was near Telluride and and next was on South fork, near Pagos Spring. I am from the remote village of Nepal where I grew up in GOTTH . camping trip reminded me of the Gothale life...collecting firewood, sitting by fire, cooking food, telling ghost storis, listen to birds, howling of hayena. surely it is a nice getaway from the city life and be in the tranquility of nature. the camp site we were was at 9,500 ft elevation and in the morning it was 20 F. I woke up with breathtaking view of moring sunshine on the green mountains but it was cold cold cold!!! there was frost on the ground and water was so cold to wash face. but I warmed up with the left over fire and hot and strong coffee....
