One of the hardest-to-reach camps in the Rockies, at the confluence of the Yampa and Green rivers inside Dinosaur National Monument. The monument warns unpaved roads can be impassable when wet, and bears are active, so plan food storage. It rewards the effort with canyon walls and a very quiet night.
