Lynx Wilderness Retreat

Join the San Luis Valley Ecosystem Council on Saturday October 8th, 2022 for a Wilderness Retreat at 30 Mile Campground along the Rio Grande River.

We have a full agenda planned for Saturday with a focus around lynx habitat and reintroduction in the area.

If you are interested in camping with us Saturday night, we will be planning to spend the night at the campground. BYO tent, camping supplies, food, water etc.

There will be a couple bathrooms open for use, and there should be a potable water source to drink from this time of year. However, bring your own water just in case. 

Location: Next to the Rio Grande Reservoir, 30 miles from Creede. (2 hours and 8 minute drive from Alamosa)

Hiking trails: The campground is adjacent to the Weminuche Wilderness with two trailheads (Squaw Creek # 814 and Weminuche Pass # 818) that link to the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail and are accessed just below the Rio Grande Reservoir.

Directions: From Creede, CO, take State 149 south (toward Lake City) 19.3 miles to Rio Grande Reservoir sign (Forest Rd. 520). Turn left onto Rd. 520 and go 0.5 miles to a "Y" intersection. Bear left onto a dirt road, staying on Rd. 520, and go 10.8 miles to campground sign. Left turn into campground.

Camping: Option to camp with us on Saturday night! We will be camping over on the west loop (18c on the CG map) Sites 3-10 are on that loop and the Weminuche Trail begins near site #10.
