    In Colorado there are many beautiful lakes, Bison Lake is one of them.

So many enjoyable things to do here at Bison Lake, too glorious to be true. If you need a place to stay Rodeway Inn Glenwood Springs is a good choice, and the scenery at Bison Lake Dam is charming. This lake is so wonderful. If you get bored of Bison Lake, you  
   could also go to close by Heart Lake.
This lake is so wonderful. Why not camp at Bison Lake Campground if you're here at Bison Lake, and the snow is pleasant at Sunlight Mountain. If you came for an overnight stay Supply Basin Campground is a splendid place to camp, and nearby you come across the Last Chance Trail which is a glorious hiking trail. Supply Basin Reservoir is a nearby lake that you could explore, and the Fayville Trail is a good hiking trail

Jet lake is also located in the Flat Tops wilderness area so no vehicles allowed but is only about a 15 to 20 minute hike to the lake (an easy pretty flat hike) then about another 15 minute hike into shadow lake , about 15 mor into blair lake and about 15 more into crater lake.
Elk lakes are located about 5 minutes from the wilderness area only 1/2 mile to the parking for jet lakes....

Adams Lake

located at the foot of Blair Mountain Adams Lake is well worth the trip. Definatly a 4 wheel drive Jeep Trail but only a few miles from Elk lakes, Jet lake, Shadow Lake, Blair lakes , Crater Lake, Deep lake and bison lake. Lots of Cut throat trout, rainbows and browns. Most deffinatly more than a one day trip. Always plan for all kinds of weather, and definitely tent camping only....

I've been going to Yampa since I was around 5 years of age. I'm not usually too keen on seeing new hotels being established in sleepy mountain towns, but The Oak Tree Inn is an exception. It's a welcome addition to this amazing little town and a great retreat when the snows come....
