    Why not stop by Alan Lake if you're passing through these parts. Now, you may think that's heaps but there's even more fun stuff to do here in the Sawatch Range. A nice close by hotel is Super 8 Motel - Leadville; whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then, we recommend Lake Creek. And if that's not enough there's a load more amusing things to do in the Sawatch Range. The skiing at Ski Cooper is great, and Alan Lake is not the only place  
   close by, Lake Patricia is a close by lake. If you need a location to stay The Alpenblick By Aspen Lodging Company is a wonderful choice; Parry Peak Campground is a pleasant local campground.
This lake is so wonderful. Going for a hike along the Timberline Trail will let you absorb the natural beauty of this vicinity, and if you came for an overnight stay Twin Peaks Campground is a pleasant place to camp. That right there is plenty already, but it carries

Alan Lake is pretty dried up ordinarily; during the month of August you get the most rain around here, and the driest month is February. This lake is so wonderful.

Monarch
28 miles away
3 PHOTOS
...enver to the Front Range resorts each weekend. Located on Highway 50 on the Continental Divide, Monarch is very accessible. It's also one of the oldest ski areas in Colorado, established in 1939.
Monarch Mountain is what you expect from a real Colorado ski area. Abundant natural snow (350+ inches) and friendly people are two of our strongest attributes. You can walk from your car right to the lifts, prices are reasonable, and the runs flow naturally back to the base area. At Monarch you'll lose the crowds but not your friends.
Monarch is a family favorite because of great snow conditions and easy access to the mountain. Having one base area makes it convenient to drop off the little ones in the Children's Center, pick-up rental equipment, sign up for ski school and get on the slopes in a timely manner. Lift lines are a rarity and you will regularly find ski runs to yourself.
Looking for great powder, spectacular views, 1000+ acres of expert terrain, steeps, trees, cliffs, and bowls? You found it with Monarch Mountain. Check out the 130 acres of hike-to terrain in Mirkwood...
