Originally posted by DFA View PostFor Molas Lake you make reservations. There is Little Molas right down the road and it is first come first served. On Yankee Boy there are 3 different areas to camp. I like all 3, but my favorite is once you turn off 550 in Ouray heading up to Yankee Boy keep on going until you pass the overhanging rock, and keep going some more. You will pass a few waterfalls on the left, and then you will see some dispersed first come fist served camping. There are always plenty of spots and usually only 2 or 3 people camped up there. Great views and secluded with perfect access to keep going up Tankee Boy, and the trail head to Imogene is right off the same road. Also Governor Basin trail head is off this same road. If you follow Yankee Boy all the way up you can park at the trail head to hike to Blue Lakes, and its a great hike with very nice views. Bring a rod and reel and catch trout in the lakes too. Molas Lake Campground will have bathroom (vault toilet), and pay showers. They are clean and I have no issue with them.

the week of July 4 +-. The road open the day before we went. The road from Animas Fork to Silverton was closed, I think because of mud slide.

I think the same people that say Black Bear is so scary are the same folks that don’t know how to drive when it starts raining.....much less snowing. In 2018 when I went over, there was a group of 4 women behind me in a stock Jeep. I guarantee you they were all in their 60’s and 70’s. They never missed a beat. If they can do it, so can you.
