     All year is a magnificent time in the Park Range if you adore the outdoors. While you're here at Benchmark Lake Reservoir you can take a hike along the Nottingham Ridge Trail, and if you came to camp Piney Crossing Campground is a good place to do that. So much amusing stuff in the Park Range, just inspiring. Benchmark Lake Reservoir is pretty dried out mostly; during the month of July you get the most rain around here while February is the month with the  
   least amount of precipitation.
You can never get enough of the delightful skiing at Vail, obviously you could also have a look at Nottingham Reservoir if you're here; it's not far at all. This lake is one of the great places here in the Park Range. Life's too short to enjoy all the fun stuff in the Park Range. Not far from Benchmark Lake Reservoir you acquire some delightful water scenery at Benchmark Lake Dam, and you'll never forgive yourself if you don’t
 
               go skiing at Beaver Creek while you're here.
The Red Canyon Stock Driveway is a magnificent hiking trail in the vicinity of Benchmark Lake Reservoir, and there's whitewater on Cross Creek for all you thrill seekers. This lake is so wonderful. Whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then we recommend Eagle River, and Benchmark Lake Reservoir is tremendous enough to spend more than a day at, Half Moon Campground is a tremendous local campground. On a great day at Benchmark Lake Reservoir you can take a hike along the Rock Creek Trail, and Sheraton Mountain Vista is a good location to get some rest.
This spot is so good, just look at all the amusing stuff to do near Benchmark Lake Reservoir. Beaver Creek flows through this neighborhood, and you could always explore Bachelor Gulch.

Huge ski resort with tons of great runs. The snow is great too. I like the peaceful scenery as well....

At the gate you leave the world behind. Nestled at the feet of North America's World Cup mountain, Beaver Creek is a custom-designed resort with the safe, unhurried feel of an Alpine hamlet. From the skating rink in the village square to chocolate-chip cookies served fresh from the oven each afternoon at the lifts, and from the ''Ivy League ski school'' to the world-famous performing arts center, this is perhaps the very best of luxury family skiing. And there is a mountain of prestigious awards for food, wine, and customer service to prove it....

Long very steep hike tried to make hike to the lake in one day and this is not probable. We are planning on a four day hike in and out with time to fish!...

Coveted as North America's top ski resort, Vail is an extraordinary winter vacation destination. Spanning seven miles are seven legendary Back Bowls, Blue Sky Basin and an expansive front side, blanketed last year with more than thirty-eight feet of powder snow. Under blue sky three hundred days a year and with more groomed terrain than anywhere on the planet, families reconnect and celebrate here from year to year and generation to generation. Coupled with the vision inherent in the spirit of Vail's founders, and a modern day commitment to excellence in all aspects of operation, the vacation experience is world class. From the Vail Snowsports School to the activities and festivals, the shops and spas, dining, nightlife and accommodations, Vail can credibly lay claim to being a resort like nothing on earth....

Upper Piney Lake
16 miles away
We had a great time hiking to Upper Piney Lake over 4th of July weekend, 2006. Although the views are out of this world, the hike will take everything out of you that you've got. I would highly recommend this hike. Make sure you have everything you need for AT LEAST 2 days. The hike to Upper Piney will take 8 hours (all up hill)...But only 4 hours to get back to Piney River Ranch....

LEDE Reservoir
19 miles away
What happened to the water as of 10-20-9?  We drove up to catch a couple trout only to find the lake has been drained? ...Beautiful drive up to Lede Reservoir.  We started in Eagle and took Sylvan Lake road all the way past the lake and then took a right at the first intersection.  After climbing up and around the peak in front of us we were upon some huge rolling meadows that were among the forrests.  A slight drop down into the valley on the west side of the mountains and a left turn lead us to the reservoir.  It is a great spot with some fishing paths around the water and a number of campsites as well.  We continued west to Gypsum Creek Road and a short drive back to the town of Gypsum....

Copper Mountain

...ng the summer of '71, initial construction began on the ski trails. Today, Chuck’s dream is alive and well.

As stated in a 1969 US Forest Service report, if there were a mountain that had terrain for skiing it would be Copper Mountain. It is the most nearly perfect ski mountain in the U. S. Over the years, new lifts were added and Copper grew to its current size of 2,465 acres. What was once a sleepy little day ski area is now one of Colorado's premier year-round destination resorts. In 1997, the resort was purchased by Intrawest - a worldwide leader in resort operations and real estate development.

Now the resort consists of not only an incredible mountain, but multiple villages, hundreds of buildings and a million other tangible, moving pieces. Copper is, and always has been, bigger than the tangible. Copper is about people. It’s about spirit. It’s about attitude, passion, heart, guest loyalty and financial strength. It’s about a place that provides a true connection to nature, adventure, the mountain, the community and the mountain lifestyle, void of any pretense. It...
