We have visited Fremont Indian State Park a number of times. We usually open the camping season with a stay at this park. It has a great private group campsite away from the main campground. Fremont Indian State Park was created during the construction of the I-70 freeway when excavations revealed significant indian artifacts and petroglyphs. Further investigation revealed remains of the largest known Fremont Indian village. The Fremont Indians lived in this area over 1,000 years ago and many remnants remain. There are some great petroglyphs on the matrix of trails above the Vistor's Center.
