Attractions & Considerations

Natural Features :

Fulford Cave Campground, at an elevation of 9,400 feet, is located in a sparse stand of spruce/fir and aspen. Active beaver ponds and East Brush Creek are nearby. From this location, there are nice views of Yeoman Park below.

Attractions:

TRAILS - There are three popular trails beginning next to the campground. The Fulford Cave Trail, #1875, (0.7 miles) goes up to the entrance of Fulford Cave. The Lake Charles Trail, #1899, (5.4 miles) goes up to Lake Charles in the Holy Cross Wilderness. The Iron Edge Trail, #1873, (7.4 miles) is a horseback riding and hiking trail that leads to the Peter Estin ski hut and then goes on to Lake Charles.

FISHING - East Brush Creek, running next to the campground, has both brook and rainbow trout.

FULFORD CAVE - This popular cave has a great variety of features to discover and explore. Cave exploration can be exciting, but visitors are reminded that caves can be dangerous and that special equipment is needed for a safe trip.

HISTORY - A visit to the historic mining town of Fulford is just a couple of miles up FDR 418.
