Out campsite was literally feet from the Colorado River and you are in a valley surrounded by mountains. This area is hot but what a view. We were going to Arches National Park and Ouray so we felt this was a good location rather than jumping campgrounds. The site was a pull through, had one small tree so limited shade, and a covered picnic table. Only negative is being so close to Interstate 70.
