Ridgway State Park

Staying at Ridgway State Park south of Montrose off Hwy. 550. Nice park with reservoir and view of the San Juan Mountains; also has several miles of trails which I've been jogging and biking.

Very large park with over 200 campsites; I'm staying at the Elk Ridge Campground. The facilities are newer and cleaner at Crawford SP, but Ridgway does have laundry facilities - Crawford does not. Ridgway also has an order of magnitude more people and the associated issues. Good cell coverage; the park doesn't provide WiFi but I'm able to use my Verizon hotspot via the cell signal.
