     Everybody nearby loves skiing at Irwin Lodge, and hiking is a popular thing to do around Capitol Lake; Blue Creek Trail is a splendid local trail. Since you might be in a lake visiting mood you can always stop by close by Avalanche Lake, and if you need a place to stay Laurelwood Condominiums is a brilliant choice. This lake is so wonderful. Get yourself into a kayak and hit Crystal River - North Fork, and dry warm beds await you at Timberline Condominiums.  
   Avalanche Campground is a wonderful local campground, and there are some great whitewater spots on Crystal River.
This is no site for people who don’t like to have fun. The slopes of Aspen Highlands are so inviting noone can resist, and the Munsey Ruby Stock Driveway offers hiking at its best. High temperatures at Capitol Lake throughout the summer are in the 70's. When the night sets in temperatures drop down into the 40's. High temperatures through the winter
 
               are normally in the 30's with winter lows in the-10's overnight here at Capitol Lake. Why not camp at Meri-daes RV Park and General Store if you're here at Capitol Lake, and Capitol Peak can be observed from Capitol Lake.
This lake is so wonderful. There's nice hiking along the Trail Riders Trail. Lakes are perfect; Pierre Lakes is a lake that's right next door to Capitol Lake. Capitol Lake is pretty dried out ordinarily; April is when you get the most snow here, and June is the month with the least moisture.

Excellent white-water kayaking on the Crystal River, for the experienced expert only.  Coors Falls at Lead King Basin is a top scale challenge, as is the 2-mile river course from the Crystal Mill.  Somewhat milder is the Crystal River from Marble to Redstone.  Beyond Redstone gets a little hairy...

Lost Lake Campground
18 miles away
I just camped at Lost Lake 2 weeks ago! It is so beautiful and serene they were holding a wedding there 2 days after we left. With only 10 campsites, it is quiet and ideal for families or couples. A beautiful view of Lost Lake Slough and of the mountains in the background greeted us in the morning. The full moon rising over the crest of the mountain was a real treat the first night we got there. There is a 3 mile hike within walking distance on which we saw beautiful wildflowers, 2 waterfalls, and 3 lakes. ENJOY!...
