Just off of Highway 17 in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado at the height of the Cumbres Pass is Forest Road 118 which takes you to the Trujillo Meadows Reservoir and Campsites. It is an absolutely beautiful spot to fish, hike, camp, view a waterfall and the wildlife, and enjoy the sound of the nearby Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad’s train whistle.

There are 50 campsites, with some sitting above the reservoir which gives you a great view. Clean restrooms and firewood are available. The sites are first come first serve and some of them are quite large and all of them are above 10,500 feet. You can boat and fish the reservoir. When I fished it, I didn’t get any bites but it was probably a little too warm at the time.

Also at the campground is an unnamed waterfall (as far as I can tell) that you can walk to a viewpoint and check out! Unfortunately beetles have killed entire swaths of the forest which is an eye sore but the FS is always having them cleared.
