We enjoyed our stay so much in the Sage Loop that we changed our plans and were lucky enough to find space in the Ridge Loop. Well spaced, wide, level campsites. Great location between Bueno Vista and Leadville. Cheap sewer and water in Leadville. The views are amazing - 360 degrees of mountains.

This campsite was great! Make sure to bring a shade tent. If your canoeing make sure your dogs have life vests.
