I'm assuming there are a lot of Coloradans on the board, given how many people in CO like the outdoors. So let's have a Colorado thread.
I just moved here over the summer, one thing I noticed is there are less trees than the east coast. I'm not sure what camping is like in the winter or if I'll have to wait until Spring, but whatever time of year people go camping, are there good camping areas that actually have trees? I'd like enough trees that I can just pick up branches off the ground and make a fire. Doesn't have to be right next to Denver, just somewhere in Colorado I'd like to go camping without having to bring my own firewood. Either backpacking or dispersed/car camping. Anybody know of any good places like that?
And as far as winter goes, where can you camp in the winter? I'm fine with cold-weather camping, I'm more worried about the snow on the mountain roads. At least some of those roads are not places I would want to drive on in the winter, so what areas are best for winter camping?
