About

Dolores River: Because of Cayton's easy access to Colorado Hwy. 145 and the Dolores River, fishing is very popular. There is plenty of fishing along the river, but it may be crowded on summer weekends.Barlow Creek Road continues past the campground and crosses Bolam Pass with spectacular views. Road conditions near the pass often limit travel to 4WD vehicles. The route eventually connects with the Hermosa Park Road behind Durango Mountain Resort and leads to U.S. Highway 550.The Colorado Trail follows the ridge across Bolam Pass.Lizard Head and Cross Mountain Trails near Lizard Head Pass lead to alpine basins surrounded by 14,000-foot peaks.Priest Gulch Trailhead, 11 miles southwest of Rico, leads to the alpine country to the west.Bear Creek Trail, 14 miles south of Rico, heads southeast into the La Plata Mountains.Other nearby trails are the Calico National Recreation Trail and the Rico-Silverton Trail.San Juan Skyway: For motorists, motorcycle riders, and road cyclists, Hwy. 145 between the campground and Telluride offers some of the most majestic scenery along the San Juan Skyway, including views of the ""14'ers "" west of the highway above Telluride. Fees: Overnight Use: Single Site Non-Electric: $30 per night Single Site Electric: $41 per night
