Attractions & Considerations

Natural Features :

Coffee Pot Springs Campground, elevation 10,100 feet, is located on a south-facing slope at the edge of an aspen, spruce/fir forest. It overlooks meadows and 3 snow-capped mountain ranges beyond.

Attractions:

4-WHEEL DRIVE ROADS - There are a number of 4-wheel drive roads for use by jeeps, ATV's and motorcycles around the area. FDR 620, 621, 622 and 623 are all popular. Please stay on the roads as you travel. The subalpine meadows are fragile and do not recover rapidly from off-road driving.

TRAILS - The nearest hiking and horseback riding trail is the Broken Rib Trail #1849. This 3 mile trail heads down to connect onto the East No Name Trail #1848. The trailhead and parking area is across from the Broken Rib Spring, 3 miles up on the Coffee Pot Road.

WILDFLOWERS - The south-facing meadow beyond the campground has a beautiful array of wildflowers. Columbines may be found near and under the aspens, while paintbrushes, lupines, sulfur flowers and locoweed grow in the open.

DEEP CREEK CANYON OVERLOOK - A mile or so back down the Coffee Pot Road is an overlook of Deep Creek Canyon. From the parking area there are two short trails to view the canyon. The geologic history of this canyon spans about 350 million years. Deep Creek, 2000 feet below, cut through many layers of limestone and sandstone creating sheer cliffs and talus slopes.
