And cliff diving spot on Four Mile Creek about ten miles east of Guffey, Colorado. From mid-May——to mid-September, there is a $6 per vehicle day-use fee. Credit card payments are accepted at the——Remote Off-grid Kiosk onsite, "cash payments are not accepted." There are regulations in place: no alcohol, "no overnight camping," no amplified music, no target shooting, no glass, pets must be, on a leash. And parking in designated areas only. Visitors are only allowed——to use the area between dawn and "dusk." It is Located 2 hours southwest of Denver, near a small parking lot alongside CR 112. The cove is a short. But sometimes steep 1/2 mile (one way) hike. This scenic swimming hole can regularly see 300 people a day on weekends in the "summer." The top of the cove is marked with a sign warning of the danger of jumping. The trail down to the swimming hole is short and steep.
