If you need a site to stay Dunton Hot Springs is a magnificent choice; get drenched paddling on Dolores River. All our national parks are magnificent places to stop by, and Mesa Verde National Park is no exception, and nearby you stumble on the Chicken Creek Trail which is a tremendous hiking trail. At Aspen Reservoir you don’t see much rain; throughout March this area sees the most snow while June is typically the driest month. This lake is so wonderful.
