Glide down the rapids of White River - North Fork in a kayak. Lakes are brilliant; Lake of the Woods is a lake that's close to Blue Lake.

it's mostly in the 40's. The winter brings highs down to the 20's; nighttime lows at Blue Lake all through the winter ordinarily descend into the 0's. It is very dried up here at Blue Lake frequently; the month of October is the
wettest with most of the rain; January on the other hand is the driest. This is a wonderful region for folks who like lakes. Lake of the Woods is a lake close by, and going for a hike on the South Derby Trail is always a delightful adventure.

 | 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.... |
