Hi there! GOOD NEWS! We just returned from a camping trip here in the Colorado mountains and my 12 year old daughter (and aspiring vet) was VERY EXCITED about finding NUMEROUS Western Chorus Frogs!! We were at Chambers Lake in the Roosevelt National Forest. Most were very small but some were quarter sized! Most are the browninsh color BUT some were the bright green color!
To get to Chambers Lake you take Highway 287 North from Fort Collins to Laporte. Continue on Highway 287 to Highway 14. Travel west on 14 for 51 miles to Chambers Lake. This Poudre Canyon Highway route is an ENJOYABLE & BEAUTIFUL scenic drive.
Hope this helps ya! Have a HOPPY Day!
