    It's always fun to stop by Forest Lakes. Jenny Lake is a nearby lake that you could stop at, and Berthoud Pass is a very popular ski area close at hand. There are some nice whitewater spots on Clear Creek - West Fork, and a lake nearby is Arapaho Lakes. This lake is so wonderful. If you come at the right time of year, Boulder Creek offers some glorious whitewater, and you can hit the slopes at Winter Park in the neighborhood.
Whohoo, so many amusing things
 
   in one place! The Front Range rocks! Don't leave Forest Lakes without first going for a hike along the Guinn Mountain Ski Trail, and as expected Arapaho Creek is a pretty stream that is worth going to.
