I need to go there! We hiked 4 miles and 2000 feet up into the San Isabel National Forest, and man at 39, we’re feeling like we’re getting to old for that!! This looks like the best of both worlds!

ReplyHey! Can you tell me where the beautiful waterfall was located? We have camped at S.Mineral several times and it is by far our most favorite!
ReplyI can’t remember exactly how we got there but its right behind the campground – just a short walk! I would maybe ask the camp host. They can probably point you in the right direction! We are hoping to get back there this summer. If so, I will update the post with the location 🙂
ReplyHey! It is just me again, the other South Mineral lover! haha! So, we were supposed to leave this coming week to head to South Mineral, but unfortunately, it is CLOSED. I am curious if you might have been to any other campgrounds in Colorado that are anything similar to South Mineral? Thank you for any info you can provide! 🙂
ReplyOh no!! I can’t believe its closed. Is it due to the fires? I can’t think of anything similar to S. Mineral, however we camped at Lake Irwin in Crested Butte area and loved that too! Absolutely gorgeous area, especially when the wildflowers are in bloom. You really can’t go wrong with anywhere in Colorado though!
