Now, I'm not looking for the GPS coordinates of your secret holes. Wouldn't dream of it, would even let you blindfold me on the way there. I've been in the area a couple of times, and will be back up there in mid-August taking my son back to Colorado State. We plan to set him up in his apartment, disappear for a couple of days, check in on him for whatever he needs, and then disappear for a couple of more days. We're looking for suggestions on a camping ground, preferably drive in but off the main road. We'd prefer high country and a little remote, and maybe a small lake. I've driven about halfway up the Poudre and think I can find plenty of places to fish, but wife wants to hike instead. So if we can stay somewhere pretty, and hike in a ways, she'll bring a book whilst I loiter in or near the water. Would appreciate any suggestions and directions you might give.
There's plenty of fishing and good camping in the lower and middle Poudre canyon, up to about Indian meadows / the hatchery (one of my favorite stretches is the section including the cabin hole that runs along the cabin that allegedly was used in the TV series Centennial. However, for hiking you want to be higher up, near the lake, AFAIK.
Alternative for combining fishing and hiking would be the Big Thompson / Estes Park / Rocky Mountain National Park area. There's some great greenback cutthroat lakes just outside the park, including Lily Lake, and loads more named and unnamed lakes in the park.
