Larimer County Department of Natural Resources — Hotel in Four Corners States

We hiked in pinewood. The day was cool, husband took out the kayak. No motor boats or swimming allowed. Maybe Total of 8 kayaks were out. We went around 10:00am. By 1:00pm dark cloud's came and were lingering. I recommend bringing a water bottle and sunscreen and some insect repellent. The biting flys were bitting. We seen some people fishing, some fish were caught, in all honesty they should have put them back as they were smaller the the forearm, but that is only my opinion. It is cooler up there than in town. Very pretty views. People appear respectful. I was happy to see now litter on the trails. They do have camping spots, spots for campers and tents.

I paid for two spots for four days and after the first night we had to pack up and leave so our kids didn't get hurt. All in all out of trip we have dubed the walk ups here as...

The rangers have nothing better to do than write tickets for annual pass holders, but rules change week to week. I parked in the same spot 3 weekends in a row with no tickets, no issue and I park in the same spot over memorial weekend and come back to a $20 ticket. No warning. More money. Apparently they only care about money. So buyer beware! I hope all of the power hungry rangers get their just deserve. Karma is an amazing thing!

$120 annual pass $118 fishing license That's not enough for Colorado, let's Tack on $20 parking ticket. $258.00 to be in a park on the water...
