171.J is a short spur off of Swamp Creek Road that is well worth the trip if you are looking for dispersed camping. There is an abundance of very nice spots suitable for multiple rigs, no matter what size setup you have. This trail offers excellent views of the Cache la Poudre Valley down below, as well as the summits in the Comanche Peak Wilderness as you sit almost 1,500 feet above the sleepy town of Rustic along Highway 14. This trail also provides clear evidence of the 2020 Cameron Peak Fire, as the burn scar is visible in almost every direction from the highest vistas along the ridge. Don't sleep on this trail if you are a camper or a newer driver trying to get out, no matter what time of the year it is. Beware the private property at the end of this track, and do not continue further beyond!
