There is a high elevation campsite off the side of the Colorado Trail about half a mile below Hope Pass. There are some dispersed trees in the area, but most of the site is open with views of Mount Hope and a small alpine lake at the top of the gulch.

This is actually the site of the famous "Hopeless Aid Station" on the infamous Leadville 100 mile run course. The aid station is stocked one weekend in August each year with help from a team of pack-llamas and race volunteers.
