I prefer some high elevation places and really love dispersed camping. I was checking out the Flaming Gorge area and it appears to be about an hour away from Rock Springs. This is probably do-able for us and we will camp for 2 nights then hit the road to Colorado. This will be a good start to the trip.
Now on to camping in Northern Colorado! We might need to find a campground at some point but for the first 3-4 nights we will boondock if possible. We were initially looking at the Rocky Mountain Region but I'm not finding a lot of info on dispersed camping in the area. It looks like the the bigger campgrounds will be closed for paving and that could leave the other campgrounds very crowded. I really want to get off of the beaten path! Maybe some forest service roads or BLM land would great too.
Any help? Also, where is everyone getting water for their rig while on the road out there? I always stress about this until I can top off.
Should we bring the Kayaks? A river float would be really cool but getting a ride back to the truck might be challenging. Maybe a guided river rafting trip might be better idea. All these choices............
