     This lake is so wonderful. Hit the slopes at Monarch in close proximity, and do go to Rainbow Lake, it's a scenic lake. Fox Lake is ordinarily a relatively dehydrated location; through August this area sees the most rain; June is the month with the least moisture. Now, you may think that's plenty but there's even more exciting stuff to do here in the Sawatch Range. Best Western Vista Inn is a great site to get some rest, and on a lovely day you get a perfect  
   sight of Sheep Mountain from Fox Lake.
This lake is so wonderful. If you came for an overnight stay Hughes Meadow Campground is a great location to camp; drift down the rapids of Arkansas River in a kayak. You'll hit upon a charming lake called Cottonwood Lake near Fox Lake, and you might also want to pay a visit to Dead Can Gulch if you're here at Fox Lake. Good hiking is available along the Horn Fork Trail.
Whohoo, so many amusing things in one place!
 
               The Sawatch Range is great! There's good hiking along the Texas Creek Trail, and dry warm beds await you at Super 8 Buena Vista. At Fox Lake through the summertime highs are in the 70's. For the duration of the dark hours of summer temperatures drop down into the 30's. High temperatures throughout the winter are normally in the 20's, and night lows in the-20's for Fox Lake. If you come at the right time of year, Clear Creek offers some great whitewater; Ski Cooper is a very popular ski area around here.
If only every place had this much outdoors cool stuff, what a great world it would be. Hiking is a popular thing to do around Fox Lake; South Pine Creek Trail is a delightful local trail, and Colt Spring Campground is a wonderful campground nearby. This lake is located in the wonderful Sawatch Range.

...onarch is very accessible. It's also one of the oldest ski areas in Colorado, established in 1939.
Monarch Mountain is what you expect from a real Colorado ski area. Abundant natural snow (350+ inches) and friendly people are two of our strongest attributes. You can walk from your car right to the lifts, prices are reasonable, and the runs flow naturally back to the base area. At Monarch you'll lose the crowds but not your friends.
Monarch is a family favorite because of great snow conditions and easy access to the mountain. Having one base area makes it convenient to drop off the little ones in the Children's Center, pick-up rental equipment, sign up for ski school and get on the slopes in a timely manner. Lift lines are a rarity and you will regularly find ski runs to yourself.
Looking for great powder, spectacular views, 1000+ acres of expert terrain, steeps, trees, cliffs, and bowls? You found it with Monarch Mountain. Check out the 130 acres of hike-to terrain in Mirkwood Basin from the top of the Breezeway Lift. Monarch Mountain Snowcat Tours offers some of the best...
