First long trip, Colorado in July.

I've been going to Colorado with my son and friends every year since about 2010, usually a 2 week trip. Son is out of school and working now, so I'm planning to be on the road solo the last week of June and all of July.

First 2 weeks of July will be in Villa Grove, south of Salida. If I can get enough internet I will make the whole stay there, if not I will have to move to finish out the month.

I'm only taking 2 weeks of vacation, and will work remote for the remainder of the trip.

Have fun! Consider a Starlink on the roam plan and you can pause it between trips.

Where will you stay in Villa Grove? Not much around there.

Since you go frequently you already know that Colorado in July is both a great time to go and the busiest time to go.

Have a great time.

In Villa Grove will be in San Luis Valley campground. And you are correct, it is busy in July, but not so much in this area. We have always been in the Silverton up through Montrose area before (before the ATV crowds started coming en masse). Last year stayed in Paonia, and a couple of years in Saguache area. Saguache is currently my favorite little town, the Bonanza area trails are great, and hardly ever see anyone on them. Plus Hayden, Tomichi, Hancock, and Marshall passes are amazing.

Have you been to Creede? We've been there 3-times and liked the area pretty well. ATVs are getting pretty aggressive there too.

I like to fly fish - so Creede is a good spot.

Our favorite is Cortez/Delores/Durango. We stay in a National Forest Campground, Haviland Lake Campground that has 50-amp service at about 1/2 of their sites. It's 17-mi north of Durango on Hwy 550.

We've been to and through Creede several times, it's nice. There is a 60 or 70 mile off road trail that runs from just north of Silverton to Creede.

We've gone up through Cortez and Delores a few times, stayed a week at Clayton campground north of Rico. Rico is another cool little town, not much there. Bolam Pass trail from Rico over to Purgatory is in my top 5 favorites.
