Pingree Park is a large area of forest located about an hour and a half up the Poudre Canyon. Home to the CSU Mountain Campus and many campgrounds, Pingree is a great place for people who love the outdoors. Many hikes are available (although not all of them are completely mapped out so be careful not to get lost) all around the park. One hike is a trip through the forest to a B17 Bomber Plane that crashed there in 1943. If you are going to Pingree to camp, there are multiple campgrounds throughout the park that only charge a small fee to enter, and if you don't want to pay, there are tons of camping spots that are on the side of the road and don't require a pass to stay at. So if you have a weekend and want to get out of town, why not drive up to Pingree and check it out?
Pets-Yes
Daily Pass- Varies on your location

  1. Do you know what the trails name is that leads up to the plane? I think I would be interested to take that trail.
