PLACE 28 Navajo State Park

 Hi,  Navajo State Park is where we were going to camp but ended up in a very nice cabin because the campground was still closed even thought we were able to make an online reservation for a tent site. This state park is on the Navajo Reservoir and very peaceful.


This is a picture of our cabin.

Since we were inside, we cooked a big meal.


We choose the Lakeview Nature Trail for a hike since the Rosa Trail had a strong skunk 🦨 odor.

Sitting on the porch watching the sun set was a very nice treat after our hike.

The address for Navajo State Park is 1526 County Rd. 982 Arboles  Co.



LAZY CAMPING: Water additives are small and light weight. Mix in a water bottle or just add a little of cold coffee to your water bottle for a much improved bottle of water for a hike. 



Have a good day and night,

PLACE 3 MCNCA- McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area

Image
Hi,   Today we went to the McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area. (MCNCA). It is 123,4000 acre area west of Grand Junction. It was named after Scott McInnis and it is run by the BLM. There are 4 free campgrounds and are located south of I-70 exit 2. We had a picnic at this campsite.  Our dog joined us on this outing. He enjoyed our hike but could have done without the burs in his feet! The last place that we explored today was the High North Campground and this was on the north side of I-70, exit 2. This campground was up a steep one lane road with some small pull outs. The views from the campground were so beautiful. Lazy Camping: Make coffee by using a coffee bag and boiling water. We hope you have a good day and night, 💕 50+Lazy Campers

PLACE 11 Vega State Park

Image
  Hi, We decided to see Vega State Park this time of year. This is what we found. As you can see its very beautiful but we did not find a place to picnic! LOL! Vega State Park is 8000ft elevation. There is ice fishing, cross country skiing, and a lot of snowmobiles. Those visitors must register at the visitor center.  There are 5 cabins that are open and parking lots plowed all year.  One interesting amenity is that the park offers Landeez All Terrain wheelchairs that will go just about anywhere, for disabled visitors. Our dog had fun in the snow. We really enjoyed the beauty of the area. LAZY CAMPING: For winter camping wear long johns and at bedtime just remove outer layer and the long johns are your PJs. Have a good day and night! 💕 50+ Lazy Campers
