The starting location is a reasonable drive from Fort Collins-Loveland, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. The nature scenery of Colorado and the playfulness of the water have people coming here. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. This is a bit of a short stretch so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over. A good workout
and just hanging out with mother nature will have you coming back for more. The beauty of the Front Range is a great plus for this river. There are so many sections to paddle in this river system, the below Pineview Falls to Mile Marker 114.7 section is just one of many. The average
