     This lake is so wonderful. You can never get enough of the perfect skiing at Kendall Mountain, and going for a hike on the Bear Creek Trail is always a pleasant adventure. There are nice places to discover along the Greyhound Pack Trail; do go to Lake Emma, it's a scenic lake. So much fun stuff to do in the San Juan and Jemez Mountains, not enough time. Soar down the rapids of Lime Creek in a kayak; a great nearby hotel is Best Western Twin Peaks Lodge & Hot  
   Springs.
It is very arid here at Lake Como commonly; August is the month that gets the most rain; the driest month of the year is June. Lake Como is located in the San Juan and Jemez Mountains. This place, the San Juan and Jemez Mountains, has so much outdoors entertaining stuff. Parson Lake is a nearby lake that you could have a look at, and paddling on Mineral Creek - South is so much fun.
After a long day outdoors St.Elmo Hotel is a great spot to spend
 
               a night or two; a great place like Alaska Basin here at Lake Como is too splendid to miss. You just can't picture the amount of outdoors entertaining stuff the area near Lake Como has to offer. Go for a hike on the Horsethief Trail. Skiing at Silverton is one of those things you just have to do, and if you crave a little side trip, try Poughkeepsie Gulch.
Lake Como truly is in the middle of a scenic outdoors paradise. Why not check out close by Letcher Creek if you're here at Lake Como, and camping at Ridgeway is always a good experience. This lake is so wonderful. A fine location to camp here at Lake Como is Ouray Koa Kampground, and the summit of Bonita Peak can be observed from Lake Como.

Blue Lakes Trail
14 miles away
This description has a few accurate things in it, but the way it's put together, it makes no sense, even to someone who lives here. It jumbles things from Telluride to Silverton in with Blue Lakes Trail. It is indeed beautiful. And you could hike up Sneffels (local 14'er) from this side, if you are fit and up for a very, very long adventure. ...

...ion welcomes you with the same enthusiasm the locals feel for the mountains.
Adding to Telluride's reputation for legendary terrain, the resort is thrilled to announce the opening of Revelation Bowl. This spectacular European-style terrain, located directly off the back side of famous Gold Hill, will be served by a new quad lift. Situated above tree line, the natural, wide-open bowl offers advanced and expert skiing in an unbelievably scenic setting.
The opening of Revelation Bowl is just part of Telluride's incredible expansion this year. Public hike-to access in Black Iron Bowl, Palmyra Peak and Gold Hill Chutes 6-10 opened to rave reviews in January. All told, the resort has expanded by nearly 400 acres, offering the most stunning skiing and riding on the continent over its 2000 acres.
Telluride effortlessly mingles urban sophistication, historic charm and mountain spirit.
The destination offers over 50 restaurants, bars and coffee shops. For aprŠs ski try Gorrono Ranch mid-mountain, Allred's or the turn-of-the-century Sheridan Bar on Main Street.
