High Country RV Park

Within an hour’s drive of High Country RV Park is the Bureau of Land Management lands and Uncompahgre National Forest that together make up more than a million acres of hunting land. This is elk country, so be prepared to go after some big game… or, if you’re not the hunting type, set out on a birdwatching or wildlife-spotting jaunt instead. There are other ways to spend your time outdoors too, particularly during the colder months. Telluride ski resort is easily reachable at an hour and 15 minutes from base, so you’ll be hitting the slopes, snowmobiling or ice climbing in no time – not to mention making the most of the après ski action at some of the local bars and restaurants. If you need an urban break from the great wide open, make tracks for Grand Junction, a little over two hours away, to explore the downtown area, poke around loads of museums and galleries, have a couple (or three, or four) winery stops, and traipse around the Western Colorado Botanical Gardens. Any film buffs out there? You won’t want to miss a stop at the Bedrock Store (on I-90 just off 141 out of Naturita), where scenes from Thelma and Louise were filmed.
