Webisode three of "How the West was Camped" features camping near Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument and Eleven Mile Canyon. Enjoy!

About 'How the West was Camped'
The 4-part original web series is by Rocky Mountain PBS producer Scott Darnell and engineer Tom Dailey. These humorous and informative "webisodes" feature Scott and Tom and their families while they camp and explore some of Colorado's national parks, national monuments and national forests, as well as other nearby attractions.

Shown from a car-camper/RV perspective, these short pieces feature camping tips and activities that are fit for all ages. New webisodes will be uploaded every Tuesday from now until the September 27 premiere of "The National Parks: America's Best Idea."

Very informative. Will be helpful to families in Colorado who want to travel to new places. They were very clear about what to expect, bad abd good. I especially liked they shared info for kids too.

These were so enjoyable to watch. We moved from Colorado and seeing these made us want to move back. I want to see more.
