North Fruita Desert is a nice place to spend a week or weekend. It can be hot in the summer and freezing in the winter - the shoulder season is the best time to visit. I recommend coming after April 30th if you’re planning to dirtbike so you can ride on all of the trails.

Texas Creek is relatively close to Denver (2-3 hours), has scenic views, there is plenty of free and dispersed camping and quite a few things to do in the area.

Free camping spot near Telluride, Colorado! Amazing views, close to town, close to Black Bear Pass, hiking and other great activities.
