I have a favorite Free boondocking spot half way between Ouray and silverton.
The specific location for my spot south of Ouray CO is
Ghost town of Ironton CO
Lat: 37' 56' 07" N
long: 107' 40' 43" W
look at this camping spot on google earth and you can see where the road to the campsites leaves the highway. (it much easier in and out coming from and going to Ouray)
That spot is out in the open. 300 feet in any direction that are places to camp nearer trees and a stream. It can get down to around 40F in July during the night.
There is a great deal to see in ouray and silverton.
You can rent a jeep and see the sights up in the mountains. You might see elk anywhere and around silverton moose.
The first 4 times I camped there the lock did NOT work on my RV door.
I would leave almost every day at 7 AM and come back 12 hours later. nobody ever messed with it.
