With a few exceptions, dispersed camping is allowed on national forest public lands.
Camping in the national forest at one location is limited to 14 consecutive days. The campsite
must then be moved a minimum of three miles. Camping can then continue for an additional
14 days.
Camping is restricted to a maximum of 28 days in any 60-day period.
More than 40% of lands within the Arapaho National Forest boundary are private or otherwise owned. A map showing land ownership is recommended. It is YOUR responsibility to know if you are on private, city, county, state, national park or national forest land.

I-70 westbound, take exit #238 Fall River Road. Drive approx. 6 miles to the 2nd switchback and turn left on the dirt road, Rainbow Road. Continue on this road until you see the sign and split for Fall River Reservoir to the right and Chinns Lake to the left.
Great Location. 4 wheel is a must have. Would recommend going when water levels are high
My family enjoys this place, I have been coming here since i was a kid..
Epic views, good campsites, and allot of hiking area... there are a few smaller peaks and some 13,000ft ones as well,the CDT crosses the back part of the range, decent trout fishing...
