We met several campers who were at Kelly Dahl only because their regular camping spots in Poudre canyon were evacuated. Many said it was their favorite place to camp. So while in Fort Collins area, we thought we best check it out for a possible future trip!
The weather was getting sketchy, cloudy-cold-rainy, so we didn't have the greatest weather for this drive, but it was the only day free we had. The High Park Fire which raged through this area in late spring and summer really took a toll. There were many signs along the canyon thanking firefighters, and it really was quite amazing that they saved some of these homes around which every ridge was blackened.http://www.denverpost.com/high park fire info
Along the way, we also stopped at Shambhala to check out the largest Stupa in the country. http://www.shambhalamountain.org/
