June 20 Absolutely Beautiful by Delbert_B
park review stars; one to five I just visited there this month for vacation and found this place by accident actually. Me and my brother were driving around and found ourselves right in the middle of it. It was an amazing trip. The scenery is beautiful and a great view of the valley and Pikes Peak from the road in.
July 23 RUDE CAMP HOST
park review stars; one to five WE HAVE CAMPED AT turquoise Lake {Molly Brown] for years Never have we met such a rude camp host. Every camp site had a story. it was almost funny watching each new family arrive seeing him track them down. threatened a 79 year old woman for tuning the wrong way on the road even though she pulled over right away. Threatened to make her leave the park, left her in tears. maybe the roads need better markings, watched him chase many cars for the same offense. when someone had a hammock on tree, he stopped, didnt say a word handed them a paper told them to read the highlighted section.. previous camp host always made us feel welcome, would stop by to talk
