Welcome to the heart of the gold and silver rush! This beautiful property literally sits on what used to be the old railroad to Leadville CO, where hopeful gold and silver miners dreamt about getting rich in the late 1800s.  Experience Mosquito Pass, the highest drivable (4WD ) mountain pass in North America and the natural beauty of Mosquito Creek that attracts deer, elk, and moose year-round.  In the fall, you'll be surrounded by the legendary Colorado aspens as they turn all shades of yellow, orange, and gold.

Hard to find
This site was really hard to find it at first. There is a sign with the address but it's set back from the road and hard to spot even when you're really looking for it (we drove past it twice the first day and once the second day) which is frustrating when you don't have service and can't call the host. Even once you find the address, it doesn't feel like you're in the right spot until you see the actual campsite with picnic table. It honestly feels like you're driving where you shouldn't be like onto someones property who could come out at anytime with a shotgun and start yelling at you for trespassing. The road is also not very well maintained and gets pretty steep and you can't really back out of it (there is a turn around at the campsite) which is pretty unnerving when you're first driving up. The road itself is a dirt road with a lot of plant matter in the middle- again feels like you're driving somewhere you shouldn't be. We were really glad we brought a car with high clearance because there was no way my car would have made it up there. Also the only place to put up a tent is on an ant colony- didn't really realize this until we were putting the tent away and saw hundreds of ants underneath. Neat. At the end of the day, this spot has a lot of potential (it's quiet and in a great location) but there are a lot of improvements that could me made to make it more accommodating.

Almost didn't find it!
The site was nice. Closer to the road than expected, we could hear cars and trucks. Nice spot. Its on Mosquito pass for a reason! We had tons of mosquito's. I was ready to head back to a place I could get service to search the direction again. GPS said I was there, but I couldnt find it...I took a chance and drove up this little road...bam..found it! Just like the picture.

This spot has potential, but currently there is a lot of trash everywhere, and it was impossible to find a spot to pitch a tent without being on top of an ant nest

Beautiful private mountian escape
This site was exactly what we were looking for. It's way off the beaten path, private, and beautiful. My family and i enjoyed every second of it.
