If you came to camp El Vado Lake Camping Resort is a great site to do that, and there is a glorious hiking trail nearby called the Fish Creek Trail. This lake is so wonderful. After a long day outdoors Holiday Inn Express Pagosa Springs, Co is a glorious place to spend a night or two, and a lake nearby
 
               is Green Lake. Chama Lake regularly gets much rain; the month with most of the snow is March, and the driest month of the year is June.
And that's not all there is to do here in the San Juan and Jemez Mountains. Float down the rapids of Rio Chama in a kayak. So many enjoyable things in the San Juan and Jemez Mountains, just amazing. Camping at Conejos Campground is always a magnificent experience, and get dripping wet paddling on Conejos River. This lake is located in the wonderful San Juan and Jemez Mountains.

Rough Creek Falls is well worth the trip; near Ruybalid Trail....

Bear Lake Trail
10 miles away
Bear Lake was surely a disappointment! I'd heard it had good fishing, but after puffing up a long, steep, and confusing trail (we lost our way more than once, delaying our arrival about an hour) we found the lake nearly dry; muddy, and infested with mosquitoes! Next time I'll save myself the bother and fish the Conejos. ...

Opal Lake
10 miles away
I was raised near this lake and when a child we had to pack horses into this lake. It is not near any campgrounds, and it's over 25 miles to town, not 18. It gets way colder than 0 in the winter but the views are almost correct.  It IS beautiful!...

Trujillo Meadows Campground
11 miles away
In the 16 years that I have lived in the area, there has never been white water ( for rafting, canoeing, kayaking etc. I presume) in the Brazos. I think you are referring to the Chama River which starts in the Colorado San Juans and flows through New Mexico into the Rio Grande in Espanola ,NM. Plenty of white water there in the spring time....You seem to have missed letting people know about the great trout fishing at Trujillo Meadows. I have never been there that I haven't hooked a big one....

Spruce Hole Trail
16 miles away
While I have not had the pleasure of hiking any of its trails yet, I look forward to camping in this area. I ''scouted'' the dirt road into the Spruce Hole exit off of the main road. It is very lovely through this piece of wilderness. Lots of healthy pines, wildflowers, and plenty of wildlife too. Sorry I don't have any pictures, but if you're thinking about camping or hiking here... I highly suggest that you do!...
