La Garita Wilderness

  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

1)Take Hwy 114 north out of Saguache, Colorado then turn left on CR NN 14 and proceed through Rabbit Gulch. You will soon climb over Cochetopa Pass/Continental Divide. At Cochetopa State Wildlife Area turn left onto CR KK14/FR788. Continue on to McDonough Ranch and over Los Pinos Pass. Stay on FR788 to the series of 3 campgrounds(Cebola, Spruce and Hidden Valley) along Cebola Creek. From these campgrounds you will be about 4 miles from Deer Lakes and good trout fishing. After Deer Lakes continue another 3 miles to Slumgullion Pass and Colorado Hwy 149. Six miles more and you reach the beginning of the Alpine Loop and Lake City.

It is a diverse area with giant rock outcroppings, alpine mountain passes, abundant wildlife, and beautiful streams & camping. This area is overlooked by most travelers, and makes a great warmup to the Alpine Loop.
