This is a beautiful 40 acre ranch on Hastings Mesa with views of Alder Canyon and Hayden’s Peak. You can hear Alder Creek flowing through the canyon from the comfort of your campsite. Many nearby options for bicycling, hiking, kayaking and skiing… even backcountry, in the area. Once you pull out the driveway you are a few minutes from Last Dollar Ranch Road (hike, bike, or 4x4) where True Grit was filmed, and about a 25 minute (weather depending) drive to Telluride, 35 minutes to Ridgway, and 35 minutes to Norwood. Just outside of Ridgway is Orvis Hot Springs, and more hot springs and a vapor cave can be found in Ouray. The property offers access to Alder Creek and our beaver ponds down in the canyon. The fields are blanketed with Iris and clematis flowers in May and June and other wild flowers throughout the summer including pentstemon, larkspur, and wild roses. There are patches of scrub oak and fields with cinquefoil bushes in the camping areas, and as you go down in the canyon there are aspen groves, blue spruce, and ponderosa pines. The backside of the property is up against BLM land, which everyone is welcome to.

The hosts are wonderful people, and helpful and fun to talk to! We had everything we needed at the Columbine Roadhouse. A great location for being near the little town of Silverton, with coffee shops, restaurants, etc. And of course very accessible to amazing hikes etc. It's higher elevation than most places so it gets a little colder there.

What a fantastic place. We arrived late afternoon and saw the beer both open and went down to say hello. We were able to have an ice cold beer brewed from the hops next to us. The camping sites are very well played out, marked and plenty of room for vehicles and tents. Onsite flushing bathrooms and showers available as well. Overall this place was absolutely amazing. Great views all around.
