As you wind along scenic Highway 141 in Western Colorado, the towering sandstone cliffs act as an impenetrable barrier to the mysteries above. Atkinson Creek is a short gravel road cutting into the cliffs, leading to two sizeable free camping pull-off areas within a colorful canyon. If you or a small group are traveling along the highway or the Rimrocker overland route, there are a couple of spots where several vehicles can set up right along the trail. The road is passable for passenger cars until the end of the marked track, beyond which the trail becomes more difficult.
