Directions to Buckhorn Camp
| |||||
Buckhorn Camp is located in the mountains west of Fort Collins.
- To drive to the camp from I-25 take the Highway 14 Exit (269B) and head west into Fort Collins.
- Turn North on US 287 (College Avenue) and follow it as it swings west out of town. Do not take the US 287 Exit to Laramie, but continue 2 miles to LaPorte; look for a rustic restaurant called Vern's on your right.
- Turn west at this intersection and cross the Cache La Poudre River and drive through Bellvue.
- Continue west (uphill) through scenic Rist Canyon for approximately 12 miles.
- When you reach the very top of a steep winding section of road, turn left / South on CR-41. Landmarks include a row of mailboxes just passed the drive and that you're at the very top of the ridge.
- Follow this road for another ½ mile to a closed gate on the right. Please make sure you have the gate code before coming. If not many are able to find cell service at the mailboxes.
- You're almost there so don't give up now, you only have another 1.7 miles to go.
- Take this last section slowly as it is scenic and in some places rough and narrow.
- Keep on the lookout for wildlife and other travelers. It is wise to allow 1 hour from Fort Collins to reach Buckhorn Camp.
