    A visit to Fancy Lake is always a good idea. Fancy Lake in fact is in the middle of a stunning outdoors paradise. Why not camp at Half Moon Campground while you're here at Fancy Lake, and there is a delightful hiking trail close by called the Main Range Trail. Dry warm beds await you at The Ritz-Carlton Bachelor Gulch, and you'll meet a lot of folks from Edwards here. Fancy Lake is located in the Sawatch Range.
But wait, there's more amusing stuff to do
 
   in the Sawatch Range. Whitewater paddling is magnificent on Eagle River, and some nearby water includes Sopris Creek. Fancy Lake is pretty dried up generally; July is the month that gets the most rain, and the driest month of the year is February. You just can't imagine the amount of outdoors fun stuff the area right next door to Fancy Lake has to offer.
Throughout the warmest time of the year at Fancy Lake temperatures are commonly in the 80's while nighttime
 
               lows are generally in the 40's. For the duration of the winter highs are typically in the 30's, and during the dark hours in the wintertime at Fancy Lake temperatures dip to the 0's. This lake is so wonderful. Cleveland Lake is a nearby lake that you could stop at; while you're here you can take a hike along the Half Moon Trail. Having a pleasant time in the Sawatch Range is trouble-free. If you need a place to stay Christie Lodge is a good choice, and Homestake Creek has a great whitewater paddling spot close by.
Near Fancy Lake you stumble on Fancy Pass which is a good spot to pop by; do stop by Mulhall Lakes, it's a pretty lake. This lake is so wonderful. There's no such thing as a bad day of skiing at nearby Vail; camping is available at Gold Park Campground. Really delightful skiing awaits you at Beaver Creek, and on a fine day you can take a hike along the Fall Creek Trail.

LEDE Reservoir

Beautiful drive up to Lede Reservoir.  We started in Eagle and took Sylvan Lake road all the way past the lake and then took a right at the first intersection.  After climbing up and around the peak in front of us we were upon some huge rolling meadows that were among the forrests.  A slight drop down into the valley on the west side of the mountains and a left turn lead us to the reservoir.  It is a great spot with some fishing paths around the water and a number of campsites as well.  We continued west to Gypsum Creek Road and a short drive back to the town of Gypsum....
