I have hunted elk out of La Garita on the creek but did not see this place. Where from La Garita ? Very pretty. Dr.C

Southwest of La Garita out in the old Ghost Mine Ranch, drive back through a slot and it opens up to this Eagle Rock area and a good trail to La Ventana, and those roads go back around, come out just north of Del Norte.

The wife and I spend a couple of months each summer at South Fork. I'll have to try to find this place this summer. Great photos. Thanks for sharing.

Go north of Del Norte airport, entry is just a mile or so south of the road into Pentiente Canyon SW of La Garita

Thanks for the directions, I'll certainly check it out. So many beautiful places in Colorado, so little time to track them all down.
