About this campground
The Upper Upper Loop Trail #435.1A begins at County Road 738, Brush Creek Road, and ends at an intersection with the Upper Loop Trail #435. The trail begins a stiff climb through aspen forest which provide excellent colors in the fall. During the summer months, beautiful wildflowers are observed along the route. Both the Upper Upper Loop and the Wheatstone Vista Trails stay dryer during the year because of their lower elevation and southern exposure. Dogs on leash are also allowed.
