I talked to the Trading Post at Taylor Park:
 
23044 County Road 742
Almont, Colorado 81210
970.641.2555

They said they let RVs fill up with water there. Also, I was told that the Forest Service has a dump station between Taylor Park and Tincup.
Before leaving the staging area check quad for full gas tank, tires are properly aired, and your quad is in good running order.

GUEST MUST SIGN A WAIVER BEFORE EACH RIDE and abide by all club rules and regulations.
