Kelly Dahl

Kelly Dahl is about 25 minutes away from downtown Boulder.

Kelly Dahl is about 3.5 miles south of Nederland

Kelly Dahl is a camping ground which is closed in the winter. Behind the camp ground is an extensive piece of national forest with lots of flat areas with southerly exposure (great for winter as the snow melts fast)
