Yellow Post Site 13: Alpine Canyon

Make it to the end and you'll have a pristine mountain creek with natural cascade. Make sure to bring a small 4x4 as the last 500 yards is full of 2 foot boulders and divots. Beautiful setting at end, not much room to pitch a 4 person tent. The area is full of fresh green plants and bugs surrounded by canyon rocks. You need a jeep or bronco to get here, so I would suggest driving lightly.

If you are able to get to Yellow Post sites 11 and 12, then 13 will be more of a challenge. 4wd is required. Just keep on following the road (river). The first area to camp will be up on a bank to the left (west) if you are in river bed. At this point you are forced to drive up the bank onto the road that I never knew was there. Remember that this trail changes seasonally with flooding. Once on road, continue for a bit and the next camp spot will be on the right. I have pictures of the gps coords. The road continues and eventually ends. At the end of road there is (was) a small creek flowing in September, but does not reach either of the camp sites. I forgot to take pictures of the camp sites, but they are small and not very ideal. This would be a great place to go if you don't want to se

Lots of snow! Drove up in a 6G Bronco on 3/15/25. Beautiful scenery!
