[QUOTE="MidTennFisher, post: 5790906, member: 11842"] We did that in July and loved it. My sister lives there and we vacationed a whole week with them. Spent part in Woodland Park and some in Estes Park. We did a lot of hiking and exploring. In the RMNP we did a 3 mile hike up to a mountain lake where I caught my first Cutthroat Trout. Couldn't believe how comfortable Summer weather could be as we're used to the humid awfulness of the Southeast for half the year, and for most of deer season. She's trying to convince us to move there and to be honest it doesn't take much convincing! I've considered making the drive and buying an archery tag to hunt just West of the front slope. West of Colorado Springs, all that National Forest land. I don't really want to pack in an overnight camp for days several miles in. Reason being that I'd be alone so for safety reasons that kind of thing is best to do with friends. If I just wanted to throw up my tent on the side of a forest service road and spend all day in the woods for a few days, do I have any reasonable chance at arrowing a mule deer doe in one of those high odds draws? Or for an OTC cow elk? Or does that stuff, on public land, always require overnight camps miles into the wilderness? [/QUOTE]
