Creede colorado

Sue, myself and 2 other couples went there together several yrs ago. Beautiful place w/magnificient views and a neat little town. Guys did what we always do, cook, BS, cook and maybe some beer. The girls got bored after several days. They had quickly shopped the town out then went back a couple of days later and rotated everyones stock for them. Did all the touristy required things, falls, mountain back roads roads, caves, etc. Took side trip to Lake City and Gunnison then another day to Pagosa Springs, girls loved it as it had places to shop. It was decided that when we go back will still go to Creede for a few days then make a base at Pagosa Springs or Durango.
Creede does have a really neat 4th of July parade though.

When and where are you staying in Creede?

DW and I are heading for some fishing to Mountain View RV Park from July 6th for a month :)

Staying at Mountain Views for three weeks. Will definitely have time to do alot of things. Will make sure we go to Brunos. Thanks to everybody.

Just a heads up...if you change your mind and come from the north on 149 you'll cross Slumgullion Pass and Spring Creek Pass - about 9 mi. south of Lake City. You'll have about 15 miles of 6-7% ups and downs. It's very doable, many RVs do (including us), but some folks would shy away from it. It's a beautiful ride! Have a great trip!!

Agree with Polly Sue, both roads are fine. Try to visit the Creede Repertory Theatre while there, lots of fun. Mountain View RV park is a great rv park in area, and worth it to pay a little more and face Rio Grande river. Clear Creek falls is a must see, and not too far from Creede.

The Creede Rep Theatre is great! We went Friday night and saw "A Funny Thing Happened on the way to the Forum." Tons of laughs. The falls are great, too, and if you have time, drive over to Lake City and have dinner at Bruno's French Restaurant in the Alpine Moose Lodge!! The lodge is right out of the fifties, but the restaurants (a bistro and the more formal dining room) are out of this world and you'd never expect such good food and ambience in such a remote place! Reservations for the formal dining room a must. I think they are open Wednesday-Sunday.

There is water and dump on left in Creede. Enjoy

Thank You for the info. Makes me feel better. LOL

Just fine. We are in the area as I write. Both are major highways used by large trucks and have speed limits of 60. No passing lanes on 149, but there is not a lot of traffic and it's mostly level from hwy 160 to Creede. La Veta Pass is not too high, although its a long steady climb from Walsenburg.
