Things To Do
The Ute Meadows Backcountry Campsite is a one-site camping area suitable for llamas at 9,450 feet along the Ute Trail in Rocky Mountain National Park. The site is located in a sandy area among white pine, spruce, and fir trees. It sits southwest of the trail 2.7 miles from Upper Beaver Meadows Trailhead. The site makes a good stop for backpackers and llama packers trekking over Trail Ridge. No privy is found at the campsite, so practice proper sanitation by burying human waste and toilet paper. Get water from a stream between the trail and campsite. Boil or treat water before using. The Ute Trail is a historic Native American footpath used first by ancient peoples and then the Ute and Arapaho Indians for thousands of years. The trail was used to easily cross the Continental Divide in search of game.
