Multiple dispersed camping spots line the Boreas Pass Road (County Road 33) as it climbs from Breckenridge toward the 11,482-foot pass. Sites range from forested pullouts at lower elevations to open meadow spots near treeline, most accommodating 2-4 vehicles. Popular with both overlanders and OHV enthusiasts, especially on summer weekends.
The road is well-maintained gravel suitable for high-clearance 2WD, though some of the higher dispersed spots require short spurs that benefit from 4WD. Open roughly May through October depending on snow. No services or water — pack everything in and out.
