    If you like lakes and you're in this part of Colorado you can check out Dry Lake. And that's not all you can do here at Dry Lake. There's so much to do here at Dry Lake that you need to camp here for a while, Ponderosa Campground is a tremendous spot for that, and do take a hike on the Conejos Stock Driveway. Have a nice hiking adventure along the Posos Trail, and you'll come across a pretty lake called Beaver Lake. In the event that you don’t have a problem  
   getting wet, you can always go whitewater paddling on Rio de los Pinos; hiking along the Spruce Hole Trail is splendid fun.
Dry Lake is a rather wet place generally with lots of precipitation; all through the month of March you get the most snow around here; the driest month is June.

Life's too short to enjoy all the amusing things in the San Juan and Jemez Mountains. A brilliant spot for whitewater paddling close to Dry Lake is Conejos River, and if you came to camp Spectacle Lake Campground is a splendid place to do that. So many cool things in the San Juan and Jemez Mountains, just mind-boggling. This lake is so wonderful. If you need a location to stay Branding Iron Motel is a magnificent choice, and a pretty lake like La Grulla Lake is a perfect place to stop by.

Spruce Hole Trail
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!...

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

Trujillo Meadows Campground
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....

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. ...
