So much amusing stuff in the San Juan and Jemez Mountains, just phenomenal. A day on the slopes of Kendall Mountain is just what you need, and you must absolutely dedicate some time to Alaska Basin since you're here at Lake Emma. This is no site for people who don’t like to enjoy themselves. You could also stop at Hematite Lake while you're here at Lake Emma; it's nearby, and dry warm beds await you at St.Elmo Hotel. Glide down the rapids of Mineral Creek - South in a kayak, and the panorama of Bonita Peak is pretty.
This lake is so wonderful. Best Western Twin Peaks Motel is a wonderful spot to get some rest, and the snow is magnificent at Silverton. This lake is so wonderful. There's nice hiking along the Horsethief Trail, and Lake Emma is not the only place close by, Lake Como is a close by lake. Silver Summit RV Park And Jeep Rentals is a great campground nearby, and if you come at the right time of year, Lime Creek offers some glorious whitewater.
