Clarion Collection Glenwood Suites is a perfect site to get some rest, and there's good hiking along the Last Chance Trail. This location rocks, just look at all the entertaining things to do near Blue Lake. Not far from Blue Lake, you'll come across Haypress Lake which is a stunning lake, and don't leave Blue Lake without first going for a hike along the Fayville Trail. This lake is so wonderful. Whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then

Lake Campground is a wonderful campground nearby, and glorious skiing awaits you at Sunlight Mountain. If you need a location to stay Quality Inn & Suites On The River is a nice choice, and a tremendous panorama of beautiful Flatiron
Mountain is available. There are other locations here than Blue Lake, for example Yellow Lake, and a pleasant location like Elbow Park here at Blue Lake is too fine to miss. Stay the night at Supply Basin Campground; there are fine places to explore along the Oyster Lake Trail.
