Taking the time to have a look at a unique campground deep in the woods will provide something to dream about, while the lesser known scenic overlooks provide views of panoramic landscapes that relatively few mainstream tourists will ever see. Sometimes the overlooks feature a landscape where a bit of pioneer history occurred or where an extreme wildfire occurred, so something can be learned along the way. The scenic overlooks definitely live up to their name and some can make a viewer wonder why such a dramatic spot is not more famous. The Ripple Creek Overlook is one such place that offers panoramic alpine views of the Rocky Mountains, so this roadside attraction is well worth taking the time to check out. The Ripple Creek Overlook is located along County Road 8 in the White River National Forest, so be sure to keep this majestic spot in mind when passing through!

New!
Destination West YouTube channel! https://www.youtube.com/@DestinationWestOrg *The Destination West website upgrading project is well underway. Unique YouTube slideshows are replacing the outdated Flickr photo galleries. The new videos feature modern graphics and alternative music instrumentals that enhance the viewing experience. Some articles are being condensed, while others are getting much needed edits. As everybody knows, the bulk of the original articles and photos were published on the fly during the Covid camping venture and there were limitations. Upgrading is the way to go and more articles will receive a makeover each week until this project is completed. After that, I will be able to gather new material. There is light at the end of the tunnel!
