Head up to Aspen Highlands and strap some skis to your feet, and getting to East Fork South Fork Crystal River from Galena Lake is painless. If you're here, you might as well go to Schofield Pass, and at Galena Lake you can observe Cinnamon Mountain. This lake is so wonderful. There is a tremendous hiking trail in the vicinity of Galena Lake called the Munsey Ruby Stock Driveway, and after a long day outdoors Eagle's Nest is a wonderful location to spend a night

Lakes. This lake is so wonderful. If you need a site to stay The Grand Lodge Crested Butte Hotel & Suites is a splendid choice; the best way to spend a winter day is on the slopes of nearby Irwin Lodge. Summer brings highs in
the 70's to Galena Lake. When the night sets in temperatures sink down into the 40's. Daytime highs during the wintertime are in the 30's while the cold winter nights at Galena Lake are in the-10's. There are some pleasant whitewater
spots on Crystal River - North Fork, and going for a hike on the Lowline Trail is always a great adventure. On a glorious day at Galena Lake you can take a hike along the Trail Riders Trail, and whitewater paddling is not for everybody
but if it's for you then, we recommend Daisy Creek. Not much precipitation falls here at Galena Lake; most of the rain falls during August; the driest month of the year is February. While you're here at Galena Lake it's a good idea to visit Elko Park, and you'll come across a delightful lake called Elko Lake.

Excellent white-water kayaking on the Crystal River, for the experienced expert only. Coors Falls at Lead King Basin is a top scale challenge, as is the 2-mile river course from the Crystal Mill. Somewhat milder is the Crystal River from Marble to Redstone. Beyond Redstone gets a little hairy... |
Lost Lake Campground
 | 12 miles away I just camped at Lost Lake 2 weeks ago! It is so beautiful and serene they were holding a wedding there 2 days after we left. With only 10 campsites, it is quiet and ideal for families or couples. A beautiful view of Lost Lake Slough and of the mountains in the background greeted us in the morning. The full moon rising over the crest of the mountain was a real treat the first night we got there. There is a 3 mile hike within walking distance on which we saw beautiful wildflowers, 2 waterfalls, and 3 lakes. ENJOY!... |
Camp Id-Ra-Ha-Je West
 | 18 miles away 3 PHOTOS Aerial view of the camp... Campers and the sign... View... ...>Our Mission:
Our greatest desire is that God would use Camp West for His glory in bringing people to him in evangelism and discipleship. Our prayer is that this occurs both in the retreats we host and the summer camps we operate for children and youth.
For good reason, we qualify the types of organizations that may use this facility to those who are best described as 'Bible believing'. In other words, they are churches and ministries that believe the Bible to be God's inerrant and inspired word, and live out their lives in regards to what the Bible teaches. That is not to say that all groups that use this camp are in total agreeement on all issues. But on the basics of biblical orthodoxy, we must agree.
Affiliations, Ownership, Denominations...
Camp Id-Ra-Ha-Je West is an independent ministry, not affiliated with any one church or denomination, and not owned by any group, individual, or church. The camp has been a ministry of trust for the past 32 years, continuing to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ and teaching the Bible as the cornerstone of this mi... |
